Talk about burning your bridges !!
The following email REAL - no joke, no hoax!
It was forwarded to my boss from a friend of his at another large lawfirm. This email was sent to ALL PERSONNEL at his friends firm.
A colleague of my boss' friend sent out his 'goodbye' email as he departed their firm yesterday. I have deleted the sender's name to protect his anonymity (though it doesn't seem like he cares!!)![]()

As many of you are aware, today is my last day at the firm. It is time for me to move on and I want you to know that I have accepted a position as 'Trophy Husband'. This decision was quite easy and took little consideration. However, I am confident this new role represents a welcome change in my life and a step up from my current situation. While I have a high degree of personal respect for _____ as a law firm, and I have made wonderful friendships during my time here, I am no longer comfortable working for a group largely populated by gossips, backstabbers and Napoleonic personalities. In fact, I dare say that I would rather be dressed up like a piñata and beaten than remain with this group any longer. I wish you continued success in your goals to turn vibrant, productive, dedicated associates into an aimless, shambling group of dry, lifeless husks. May the smoke from any bridges I burn today be seen far and wide.
Respectfully submitted,
