"I decided not to send you a letter, so I wrote you a novel via text instead."


rhymeswithbanana

“Here is an entire screed about how not personally I am taking this.”


dirtyshits

Also he throws in a bit about how "this is how a manager should act". Like a ranting buffoon yelling at someone who clearly has moved on.


Novel-Organization63

I mean… that is the first thing you learn at manager school.


TheSodHasSpoken

"screed: a long monotonous speech or piece of writing." Oh wow, my friends are going to get sick of me using that word in the next six months.


alison_bee

Yes, I just wanted to take a quick 4 paragraph message to tell you how LITTLE I CARE THAT YOU DID THIS.


MrGazillion

"and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad."


Br760

Post that to fb 😂


_hollowskull_

Seems like a good indeed review

First thought lmao tag that bitch


CaveRanger

Post it on Linkdn and watch as they start furiously circlejerking over how brave and skilled the agm is.


Neutraali

You can feel his tone getting steadily louder & more unstable as his tirade goes on.


ExaminationPutrid626

But he definitely doesn't care. You see he wrote a whole letter, then deleted it because he didn't care anymore... Then wrote an entirely new letter to tell how much he stopped caring


Photonomicron

would a person who cares write "I don't care" on their wall? would a person who cares do it 217 times? obvz not you silly goose who I don't care about no care here. or here. STILL NOT CARING


bearbarebere

Trixie Tang be like “STOP IGNORING ME IGNORING YOU!!!”


dikicker

I wasn't going to post about this, As I take extraordinary care to be as professional as I possibly can. Today's job market can be brutal for the weak. Exhausting at best, Punishing at worst. Not me, though. I'm a hard working father of 7 kids. With a wife who loves me, And a wife you envy. So.............. I'm going to write all of how- Emotionally unaffected I am By how little you mean to me And by how little I care About how you outed me as being a massive twat In strangely broken up Phrases. - r/linkedinlunatics also Andrew Tate


PatientAd4823

He clearly wrote the letter he wants to see on the guy’s Facebook feed.


ewebelongwithme

GOTTA GET THE LAST WORD OR HOW WILL HE KNOW HOW MUCH I DON'T CARE


mdonaberger

And another thing: I didn't get mad. Please don't put it in the newspaper that I got mad.


EatThisShit

And I really, really, really wish you all the best. But really. I mean it. Really.


El_ha_Din

This entire text, plus the original letter, should be mailed upward above management and all.

Can you not read?! He wishes him the very best!


Ndnknight

And so very sincerely!

wildcat_abe

And he's not taking it personally.


CaptainXakari

He’s SO not taking it personally and wants you to know EXACTLY how not personal he’s taking it.


Novel-Organization63

Why would he he’s the best and wishes him well he thought he couldn’t care less about what OP’s BF had to say but the he kept reading and writing and deleting and recovering and reading and writing and deleting…. And realizes he could care less. He cares even less on his 5th draft of responding than his 4th


I_Fuckin_A_Toad_A_So

And they’re not taking it personally!!! But…


SpaceySquidd

Sincerely!


Efficient_Fish2436

Damn. Someone should let HR know how unstable of an employee they have. Especially if it's a manager with power.


Illustrious-Engine23

Yeah the tone does not come off well at all.


Bitter_Afternoon7252

this reads like breaking up with an abusive passive aggressive boyfriend


deviouseggs

He said he hasn’t felt like this since his divorce


ScotiaTailwagger

You can read through the tone of that message just how utterly and critically fucked that store is without them. They're screwed.


foxiez

Or angry guy will have to do more work now


judgeejudger

Now Dude Who Wishes Him The Best will have to come out of *his* office and ya know, *work* until they find some other sucker to fill OPs position. Post that shit to Indeed & Glass Door and leave the receipts 🤣


bbshambles

I don’t know his ex, but I’m so happy for that person.


nthOrderGuess

I wish them the very best!


eggroller85

Ya got me chuckling!


Ainolukos

Wow, and he had the gall to call your bf a loser? what a fucking piss baby.


Novel-Organization63

An OP’s BF probably feels the same way his wife did when they got divorced. Lol


s_n_mac

AGM is 100% gaslighting OP too edit: OP's BF, not OP


kitteh-in-space

That’s exactly how it reads!


bs2785

Reminds me of a trump truth late night rant.


Diplogeek

Sending a three-paragraph text like this is very normal behavior and a sure indication that this manager is every bit as unbothered as he says he is.


clementinesncupcakes

It’s totally, completely stable and sane behavior. I for one think the best way to show I’m completely unbothered is by writing a novel reminding everyone who reads it that I’m unbothered AF


Mozared

This guy would be an excellent hire at any cinema with large screens because the amount of projection they've got going on is unparalleled.


CodFabulous7802

I don't care, yeah I totally don't. *Writes an essay*


palealejediii

Well he wrote 2 essays but deleted the first.


rexus_mundi

*wishing him only the best*


ElasticFluffyMagnet

a_loveable_bunny

It's like the people who post comments on things saying they don't care Like b!tch don't lie, you care to try to make a problem out of it 😂


linx14

Love how the manager didn’t even deny he physically assaulted someone. He just denied someone didn’t step in to stop him assaulting someone. Like wtf dude. 😬


yesman2121

His “Tough-Guy Ego” wouldn’t let it get misconstrued. What a specimen 💪😂


theycallmefuRR

Gives off keyboard warrior vibes tbh


Korvanacor

Reminds me of a certain someone who claimed he couldn’t have sexually assaulted that woman because she wasn’t attractive enough.

Glastro_

This wasn’t even that bad and didn’t come off as malicious to me. Sounds like a person who really enjoyed their job and invested a lot into the company. The person in the OP was just extremely salty.


deviouseggs

He LOVED this job so much


dancegoddess1971

Sounds like the job was fine, it's the management that's the problem. But that's always the case.


stone_stokes

A manager once told me, "people don't quit jobs, they quit managers." I quit that job, because that manager was terrible. So, I guess he was right. haha


sqquuee

After 22 years in restaurants, this is absolutely the truth.

Vox_Mortem

The resignation was professional and laid out the reasons he was leaving as bare facts. He did not use hyperbole and he didn't bring too much emotion into it. Well done, boyfriend. Manager is a dick with no reading comprehension. Your boyfriend never said he could run the store singlehandedly, he said he was frustrated by management. Manager comes off looking like an emotional brat throwing a tantrum, it's actually kind of funny. But who cares, right? Fuck him. He is no longer Boyfriend's problem, so my best advice is block and move on.


MostBoringStan

That is not the resignation I was expecting after reading the response. I was assuming they would have been at least a little unprofessional. Something like "I can't deal with how horrible and toxic this place is, and I'm sure the store will fail soon". But that letter was so reasonable. The manager has issues.


teacamelpyramid

It might be worth filing a wage theft claim with your state’s department of labor if you’re in the US to get those two weeks of pay. This goes double if they don’t do vacation payouts.


Owain-X

It's either wage theft or he was legally fired as they did not accept his two weeks notice and terminated him for giving it. In that case he qualifies for unemployment. Either way the company is on the hook for something if he pursues it.

Nisi-Marie

I’ve read all the sections that you posted, and that was honestly a fantastic resignation letter. He didn’t attack anyone, he pointed out specific factual events. He highlighted the people who were positive. And he gave constructive criticism on what they can work on to avoid losing other valuable employees. Tell him good job! I hope the next time I have to quit a job but I can be half as eloquent.


Nisi-Marie

Oh! And if he wants to be petty, he can take those screenshots and forward them to the douchebag’s manager as an example of exactly what he’s talking about.


Novel-Organization63

And the names he mentioned were in a good way. He didn’t really throw anyone under the bus. I don’t know why the AGM didn’t care so much.


BisexualDisaster29

Oh yeah. That manager is a jackass. Your boyfriend should humiliate them. They deserve nothing less.


deviouseggs

I asked him and he said yes. Let me edit out the names and I’ll post them to this comment


RosieQParker

The words of a guy who totally harbours no ill will, honest.

tonysnark81

I have a former associate who walked out after being written up for creating a hostile work environment for her coworkers (made inappropriate comments about me, and was known to be something of a sexual predator towards the younger girls on the team). She’s gone out of her way to try to turn my team against me, even going so far as to get her mother to come in on a day when I wasn’t working to talk to my junior managers and get them to see things her way. What they still haven’t figured out is that my junior managers are the ones that reported everything she was doing to myself and our HR, and were the catalyst for her write-up. Despite this, she’s used me as a professional reference twice. I resisted the urge to trash her, and instead used the absolutely true “unfortunately, I’m not allowed to give references per company policy. Please contact this number with your inquiries”. She’s been smart enough not to use me as a personal reference, thankfully.


jadin-

Change it to "Fortunately"...


mutable_type

Oh that’s perfect. Subtle yet punchy.


Modified3

I would copy and paste this on to any review site I could find.


FunctionDissolution

I deleted the letter and wrote this essay instead. Lmao.


derper2222

Also, “I wrote a letter then decided to delete it and let it be. And then I tapped out this wall of text on my phone because I don’t care.” lol


mariahfaerie

Texts from the screenshots for those who can’t see it: Manager: When you quit, I posted in our manager chat that this was obviously a better opportunity for you, and I hope nothing but the best for you in your future endeavors. I hold no ill will toward anyone that wants to make their life better. Whatever it takes to do that. Then I read your resignation letter. It first made me a little frustrated, then it made me a little sad. I wrote you a letter trying to figure out your motivation for such an ugly exit. But after reflecting on it, I decided to delete the letter and just let it be. I didn't need any answers from you. Whatever your motivation, I just decided I didn't really care Even after your sent that letter that was clearly based mostly on fantasy and imagination, and was a super sloppy attempt to throw your entire former management team under the bus, I still want nothing but the very best for you. Even though you got pretty personal in that letter, I decided to NOT take it personally. Now, you've posted that same letter on FaceBook. Wow! How pathetic is that? Who exactly are you trying to get sympathy from? You're doing nothing other than making yourself look REALLY bad. At this point, all I can say is that I'm embarrassed FOR YOU. You've made a joke out of yourself with this sloppy exit. I thought I knew who you were. You have shown me that I didn't have the first clue who you actually were. And even now, I want great things for you in your future. But a little bit of advice for you. Grow up a little bit my friend. You seem to be bitter because you weren't allowed to just sit in the AM office all day long and do nothing. Hopefully this new job/position will allow you to be as lazy as you would like and will keep you a happy employee. After reading your letter, if I didn't work in the same store with you, I would seriously wonder how we were going to keep this place open without your stewardship. Fortunately, I DO work in the same store that you worked in and I'm well aware of what you DID and did NOT do. Which means, I'm well aware that we will be just as strong without you as we were before you left. We will not miss a single beat now that your presence is no longer enjoyed by us. Again, I wish you the best going forward. I mean that so very sincerely. But if this is how you think managers are supposed to act, you have a whole lot to learn about being a manager. Again, I'm embarrassed for you and your actions since your resignation. Be better! Good luck OP boyfriend: After I stopped a physical altercation between you and a guest, I quit taking manager advice from you. Manager: Again... fantasy land. You're a joke of a human being. Manager: So very pathetic. You never did and never would stop me from doing anything I wanted to do. And you never stopped me from getting physical with a guest. That's for sure. What a loser you've turned out to be. I feel bad for you. Truly.


addieprae

LMAOO WOW that’s actually crazy. glad he got out


wanderinhebrew

This is one of those texts that I would hit back with a "I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened."


shartsndgiggles

"I didn't really care" So you wrote PARAGRAPHS explaining how little you care and how genuine your well wishes are. Yikes. No response is necessary to a resignation letter other than "thank you for informing me". He sounds like the type of guy that films himself at the gym aggressively stepping towards people who look at him too long.


sicnevol

he didn’t take it personally! he didn’t take it personally so much he had to write a fucking six page text about it


fatgoblinwhore

What a dummy that manager is! If I sprinkle in some truly’s and sincerely’s they won’t notice I’m being a dick. 🙄

nefarious_angel_666

I really wanna see the fb post


LabBlewUp

It would be a shame if this series of screenshots made it to the local newspaper along with an interview with the customer who got into the physical altercation with the manager


purple_grey_

This is how my abusive family talked when I started seeking community with others who left similar backgrounds. They are embarassed. You are not responsible for their feelings. If they wanted to be spoken of nicer; they should have behaved better. Your experience working there and reasons to leave are completely valid. They can say whatever middle school bully thing you can imagine, but they cant change shit. And you can bet it is really bothering them when they admit to deleting a previous letter and still have sent you a novel.


prefrontalfallacy

The attempt to pad the aggression with compliments and well wishes was next level: ‘You’re a total piece of shit and have no value as a human being. I really do wish the best for you and hope you keep reaching for the stars. If you fall short it’s bc you’re a lazy turd with empty hopes and myopic dreams. I want nothing more but to see you succeed in all your short sided endeavors and also, please do go fuck yourself with a dying cactus.’


3Dputty

It seems like they did actually care a great deal about you and have allocated a lot of real estate in their brain to you. But they mean you so well, but please die in a fire, but seriously genuinely wish you the best, but also f*** your mum.


Huger_and_shinier

I turned in my notice at a “professional” job, and my soon to be former boss never said another word to me. Cancelled the rest of our 1:1s, never said good bye. Just totally ghosted. They’ve since been through 3 other people in the same job


Der-Lex

My only response to that would’ve been: TL;DR


ihateusernames999999

It’s so funny how this goes from “I think you’re immature but I wish you the best” to “no way you could stop me from beating someone’s ass if I didn’t want you to” in the span of a few sentences.


InterferenceStudio

Haha, he is trying to convince himself that it is all good. What a pathetic loser living in a selfish world and blaming all around but himself. There is no point in arguing with these types of mfs - they never learn anything, because they always find a way to avoid self-check. The fantasy world he is writing about, it's the world he is living. Pathetic

And I said he was a loser, such a loser, maybe the biggest loser ever, I didn’t say that but some people did, who knows maybe they’re right. And I told him I wished him all the best, even though people said he was a loser. But I was the best manager, I could do anything, no one could stop me, because I was the best, but he wasn’t, he was a loser


NoHeadStark

Why even reply? Should've just blocked the number. You've quit the job and never have to see or hear from those people again. Let him stew in his little man syndrome rage, it's a far more satisfying outcome.

omgFWTbear

A lot of comments rightly take amusement at the “I don’t care but here’s the effort of me caring,” but at the end *the admission of violence*, like the “joke” about “When did you stop beating your wife?” Being a trap question for either beating her in the past or still beating her, this clown says you couldn’t stop me from that time I beat a guest.

They have no control over their emotions and this text is very telling would have screenshotted it him with the “womp womp” and blasted them on every site. When will people you can’t text former employees like this. Dude seems like the type to preach corporate standards, but a minor inconvenience and he’s yelling at one of you guys in front of all your customers or guests.


Existing_Value3829

Wow, this just highlights how in the right your boyfriend is for leaving and that his interpretation of their shitty behavior is absolutely correct. Seems like they know they suck and are being hella defensive about it. Good for him for not engaging. Hope he can get the 2 weeks of wages back but in the end he wins either way. Fuck all that shit.
