    When you deliver the note, bring donuts, or maybe cupcakes.

      Yeah, I agree with Jolly, George and Cat's advice. The short letter is good, gets you the hell out of there and you can concentrate on your future.

      Leave, and let them stew in their miserable lives.

        1. It doesn't actually say you have been exposed.
        2. It will keep them from calling you in for a face-to-face. Anybody can look like hell on the webcam.
        3. It gives you an out to quit immediately.
        4. It may singe the timbers a bit, but it burns no bridges.
        5. It is true they taught you something.

              That made me spit (cheap) Scotch all over my keyboard. It's certainly accurate, isn't it, LOL?

              See the other note in there? If you didn't the first time then I think it's a pretty good indication that I can roll with it.

              (And I know, right? A more Southern insult I've never seen. 🙂 )

              Duuuuuuude. That is nice. So subtle they’ll never notice. But at least you’ll know.

                      That hidden message you put. Steganography...you haz it.

                      It’s one of those things that no one will notice, but if someone does they will immediately know it was deliberate.

                                I thought a "dear colleagues" would have fit better tonally, now I understand why the dear couldn't be there.

                                  And it'll fit pretty well because a couple of folks begin their all-staff emails like that as well.

                                    Good letter! Jolly nailed it with his suggestions.

                                    Yes, I see you added some of your personal style to it as well. Take satisfaction in that. 😆

                                          Holding pattern for now. Reached out to the CEO's EA (see other thread), told her I wanted to speak to the CEO about resigning. My boss suggested I try to do this before I really pull the trigger. She spoke with him, and apparently he's going to try to speak to me on Tuesday. I'll believe that shit when I see it, we've been trying to contact him for 6 months about the department head. Never a response.

                                          EA's trying to get upper management to meet to provide a leadership review of the department head. And my boss is apparently going to mention in his management meeting on Tuesday that if nothing is done about, uh, "present difficulties," here's a list of projects that are going to grind to a halt. (The ones he and I work on.)

                                          They're apparently going to bat for me. And other managers have a huge problem with the department head, too. So I promised I'd see how all that goes. If no change by Friday, I submit Jolly's letter.

                                          Two interesting updates:

                                          • Like an abusive spouse, the dept head hates when we speak to anyone within the organization except her. She wants to isolate us from the rest of our co-workers as a controlling measure. Why? Well, remember when I mentioned that she made up some shit about other managers having a problem with me? She just this past Friday told one of them that we as an entire team have a serious problem with one of his employees and her personality. Isn't that interesting? What a fucking psycho. We set that manager straight, told him it wasn't true. He's so pissed he cancelled his meetings with her.
                                          • She was very nice to us on Friday. She actually told me I made a proper decision about a project. She never says anything like this, or anything close. My boss thinks someone reached out to her to tell her to knock it off. She acted so strangely that I think it's very possible.

                                          Either way, I don't give a fuck. "Things seem to be improving" isn't fucking good enough. I know damn well I'll be layoff #3 and she's going to try her best to make it nasty. Some definitive steps have to be taken next week or I walk.

                                          Please love yourself.
