There is a new phenomenon in town, that of the Great Resignation, where employees leave their jobs in droves, causing quite a stir among companies. Resignation letters are on the rise, leaving employers bewildered and pointing fingers at the workforce for not wanting to work anymore. But the reality is, that people do want to work, just not for terrible bosses.
Unfortunately, Reddit user notsatans found herself in a sticky situation with her supervisor. OP shared a screenshot of an outrageous email her boss sent after several employees resigned on the same day, giving the exact same reason. The email criticized the departing employees and laid out new resignation terms.
2. OP’s boss brought it to everyone’s attention that the employees were being unfair by leaving their jobs in batches.
3. The boss ended up creating new rules to make sure they could improve their retention rate.
Here’s a breakdown of the email:
4. OP’s boss shared an email with the entire staff bringing to the front the three resignations he received on the same day that were backed by the same reason.
5. He said their leaving would seriously impact the lives of the existing workers.
6. The boss asked all employees to reconsider their decisions if they were planning to walk the same path because it may not go their way.
7. The boss then informed everyone that they would now have to give a three-month notice and would have to train their replacement in that time period.
8. Their pay would be lowered during the notice period as well.
9. The boss made sure every worker felt the full heat for what those three employees did.
This boss is messing up big time. I am willing to bet on the fact that more employees will start quitting after reading this email. Three-month notice, training your replacement in that period, and a reduction in pay until the 90 days are over? Did he even proofread this email? This is just anger bursting out of him, and he sent this email all around the company as an impulse reaction.
13. Just a day later, OP shared an update for the anxious readers awaiting what happened next.
