Discussion
One of my fellow workers at the company (we produce fruit machines) resigned this morning. It is the best, and most accurate, and most amusing thing of this type I have ever read. I thought I'd share it among you all as I am sure many of us feel exactly the same way....

Dear Company,
Anyone not expecting to receive this email either doesn’t know me very well or hasn’t been listening.
Twenty-seven years must be enough for Gods sake; I’ve done the work, been paid the money we’re straight. And notice is herein given. Thanking everyone at The Company for the last 5 years.
It must be time to force a change, to abandon this culturally moribund anachronistic twaddle.
So: I have decided to leave these shores, to leave behind the chasing of irrelevant capitalist trinkets and to live a more rewarding peripatetic existential lifestyle. To wander the darkest deepest forests of Thailand. Maybe to take a second wife, a dutiful beautiful Thai temptress or two, in a Gauguinesque manner for the 21st century.
To live out my days painting, writing, walking on powder white beaches in a land where some of my erections are paid for. And my future toils will have an order of permanence, not ending up as an ephemeral pile of wet chipboard.
To be forever fulfilled, surrounded by young women to take at my command and holes of choice.
And remember:
‘All that glistens is not gold’
I fear this may not cater for the non-aesthetes amongst us.
I pray ignorance personified spares me redundant questions.
Any doubts then read it again.
Love ****
