In a world where resignation letters are often polished with formalities, a Ghanaian employee has rewritten the script—literally. His side-splitting resignation note, featuring a humorous twist, has captivated social media, with users applauding his blunt approach.
Shared on the popular Instagram page Wall Streat Oasis, the letter has created a stir. The employee from Nsuta Wassa, Ghana, simply stated:
“I have gotten a new job from a company and I like to go and try that place too. In case it did not work out, I will come back.”
With no grand farewell or stiff language, he candidly thanked his employer and even singled out a manager, writing, “I’d like to thank the entire management team, particularly Mr. Nappo.”
Internet users couldn’t help but react to the honesty and humor. One user quipped, “This man is not burning bridges; he’s just building a roundabout!” Others joked about HR’s reaction to such a statement, while another added, “He’s taking the ‘leave the door open’ advice too literally.”
The comments ranged from pure amusement to admiration for his confidence. “Most people would be too scared to say they might come back,” one commenter said. Another remarked, “This is how you resign when you’re in demand!”
Many social media users pointed out the refreshing aspect of the letter: it’s not often that employees openly admit they may want to return. One commenter summarized the sentiment best: “It’s refreshingly honest; most people pretend they’re never looking back.”
