Last day email from another departing employee:
Team,
Today is my last day at xxxxxxx. I have accepted a position with a local company to be a help desk analyst in their IT department. This is a great opportunity for me both monetarily and work to life balance. I have enjoyed working with each and every one of your during my time here. While I’m grateful for the opportunity that xxxxxxxx provided me into the IT field, it is time for me to move on and advance in my career. I have gained a wealth of knowledge that I will take with me going forward. I truly will miss working with all of you and hope to remain friends with many of you. Ultimately the 12 hour shifts, working holidays and weekends, and lack of an immediate correction to the wage issue that was acknowledged by management, proved to be the deciding factor in my decision to leave. There is zero proof that working this long of a shift provides any benefit to productivity. Common sense and scientific research show that after 8 hours your productivity plummets. We are asked to work long hours, weekends, and holidays. This alone should merit higher salaries than we currently are receiving. Factor in the amount of work we are asked to do and the amount should be above market standards. Empty promises and false hope will not guarantee that this will happen anytime soon. My advice to you all is do not settle for talk of a “target date” or it’s in the “pipeline” for things to change. Work hard, stay focused, and never stop learning. We will all succeed. If anyone wants to contact me you can find me on LinkedIn or Facebook. Once again I appreciate all the well wishes and encouragement from everyone. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you all.
