The employee then goes on to mention their inability to buy a mobile phone as an example of their stagnant salary. “I’m worried how will my career move fast, if I don’t have enough salary to buy fastest phone in India?" the letter continues.
The resignation concludes with the employee deciding to explore opportunities “where growth isn’t just a buzzword." The employee announces December 4, 2024, as his last working day, assuring a smooth handover.
“Thank you for the experience and all the memories," the employee concluded.
This resignation letter, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has garnered widespread attention.
Take a look at the post here:
With forty-five thousand views, the comments section was brimming with reactions from social media users.
One user jokingly wrote, “Better give him that phone and keep him."
Another pointed out, “He might have gone for EMI as most of the employee class go for to fulfill their desire. I hope he had another company offer to start better 2025 onwards."
Some commenters speculated that the resignation letter might be more of a marketing stunt than an actual resignation.
One user commented, “Subtle promotion."
“If iQOO India pays me 15,000, I’ll drop this as an actual resignation e-mail," a comment read.
Meanwhile, an individual commented, “This existing tug-of-war between employees and employers over the profit-sharing of the company, where both sides prefer their area of interest, leads to the downfall of either side. Of course, huge profit margins make employers score over employees most of the time."
