Dear out and club,
I turned in notice yesterday. See that line waaaaaaay back there? That was the line, see the other one, about mid way? That was too, the solid fvcking gouge in the sand? That was the real line.

Sincerely,
Free. Or jumping into a new fire.
 
Dear actively,
8 people, 6 months, 5 in the last 3 weeks... Of less than 30 office staff.

Sincerely,
Nope, there's not a problem here.
 
Dear Not a Problem,

My day job's probably going to lose half of their field based staff over this.

Sincerely,
No, not a problem at all.

Dear club, free, and actively looking,

Part time dream job that's supposed to eventually become full time is aware, probably can't push things forward. So I'm actively looking for filler day job. Or for a different full time dream job. Because notice with no full time backup is unacceptable, so sayeth the wife.

Sincerely,
Resumes out the door already.

Dear crappy day job,

Once you actually do what you say you're gonna do, I may still quit now anyway, backup or not. Deal with the backlash from my wife later.

Sincerely,
Super angry wife is still better than this sh**
 
Dear All you guys,

This was me 7 months ago... the grass was greener on the other side.

Sincerely,

Best of luck.
 
Dear Nope,
Ouch. I wonder if someone is going to get the message?
Sincerely,
Ride the wave

Dear Resume,
If it is anything I can help with lemme know. I have a few connections in these parts. Also, I agree with the wife on that one. It is much easier to replace a job when you are employed rather than between jobs.
Sincerely,
Willing to help.
 
Dear Out, Free, Actively, and Problemless,
The line in the sand was passed long ago, the line jackhammered into the concrete was the one recently passed. And it was about 6" from a cliff. Management claims to want me back at some point in the future but decides that the blanket rules for bozos should apply to all employees not just those who need them. For somebody they wanted to keep around, the treatment didn't exactly indicate that.
Sincerely,
Unlikely to return.


Dear Luck Wisher,
You have green grass? Any grass would be an improvement over the barren wasteland I come from.
Sincerely,
Any grass will do.
 
Dear Counting,
No love for the club?
Sincerely,
Left out.

Edit:
Dear self,
You are the etc.
Sincerely,
Stop jumping to conclusions.
 
Dear down, out, line drawing, unhappy workers

This makes me glad that I enjoy the work I do

Sincerely,
Do what you enjoy, and work becomes your solace.

Dear happily employed,
That has always been the plan. I used to enjoy work until it changed the scope of what work needed to be done. Then enjoyment slowed. Then management went all off the handle ape-crap-crazy and enjoyment was a thing of the past. Currently looking at things that I enjoy doing for employment, but they are yielding self-sustaining hobbies at best.
Sincerely,
Still looking for the right job.
 
Dear on the road

Seriously, get off the road and make your own path. Following the herd leads to the slaughter house. Self employed since 99.

Make good money, $5 a day

People rarely hate what they are good at. Treat people with respect and give them what you said you would, and you will have a line of people wanting your work

Dear Black Island Brewer

Soon.......very soon.

Sincerely,
Precarb tastes are encouraging.
Nice to have a pipeline while waiting.
 
Dear do what you enjoy,

I loved working on cars, I had a gift for fixing cars so I became a mechanic, after 25 years I despise working on cars, I even dread doing a simple oil change on my own car...

Sincerely,
Taking your hobby and making it your job is a sure fire way to take a perfectly good hobby and destroy the joy in it.
 
Dear management,

If you want to put anything else on my plate you are going to have to take something else off it.

Yes, I realize it needs to be done. I have brilliant ideas for how we can do it. But tell me what you want to go undone while I'm doing it.

Or how about this idea: fill the two positions that have been sitting vacant for a year.

Sincerely,

Guy who is driving 1200 miles next week to inspect three projects because we are short two positions
 
Dear Black Island Brewer

Soon.......very soon.

Sincerely,
Precarb tastes are encouraging.

Dear precarb taster,
Drink it up, the aroma hops drop off fast. I'll never make 10 gallons of that one, I'd never get through it in time.
Sincerely,
Dreams are still colorful
 
Dear Everyone I Know,

I read the article about the local community college offering a one year 'Brewing Science' certification. I have a degree in something I love that I worked very hard to get. Please stop sending me links to the local news hyping this program. It's a few years too late.

Sincerely,
Maybe Next Time
 
Dear Yoda,
Seems I'm best at drinking beer -- can't find gainful employment in that area...yet.
Although I can't count them as best, my favorite jobs are golf, fishing, sitting on the beach, sitting by the pool, woodworking, gardening (notice that these can all be accomplished while drinking beer). So far, no employment opportunities in these areas either.
350 days and counting...
Sincerely,
40 years with the same company - motivation is a hard thing to hang on to.
 
Dear Fartbreath,

Man I will CUT you. I'd be better off asking Flying Bison if I could mop their floors.

Sincerely,
Smartmouth

Dear Smartmouth,

They won't be in business long... they're next on Red Bull's "Breweries to Sue" list.

Flying? Gives you wings? Bison? Like, almost like a Bull?

God help them if they use the color red.

Sincerely,

SM2
 
Dear today,

Thank you for not adding anything else to my plate. 4 big events well spaced out at work and one major power outage at home that caused me to have to run home in the middle of the day was quite wonderful.

And thank you for the final gift of the band cleaning their equipment off the stage tonight. You just saved me an extra hour tomorrow morning.

These are the days I love at work. Although long, complex, and a little nerve-racking. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Sincerely,
Full days are awesome!
 
Dear former employer,


Image below, since this stupid site won't let you place inline images... Or I'm too stupid.

Sincerely,
My boss is such a fvcking baby I still haven't talked to him since putting notice in.

Dear USW striking refinery employees,

I respect your right to strike as a bargaining position. I also think you got a bit screwed last time around.

That being said, you are screwing with my livelyhood. I gave you a week. I will give you one more. After that...well, I must join the majority of the country and start flipping you the bird.

Sincerly,
Hired Gun stuck at home...not wanting to do another tour as a contractor in Iraq
 
Dear 351 days

I'm 30 years old and jealous as h*ll. Brag why dont lol.

Sincerely
Got a long way to go.

Dear got a long way to go,

Don't wish old age on yourself. It will get here soon enough.

Sincerely,
Wish I hadn't had to get old before I retired

Dear SM2,

Don't give the ahole lawyers any bright ideas,they screw over enough small business owners.

Sincerely,
Not enough shovels to bury all the red BS!
 
Dear Helms brewery,

I have been "lucky" enough to acquire your products twice.
Sanitation is an important part of brewing. Clean your **** and send a quality product out the door. The first beer I got from you gushed like hell and tasted like spoiled butter and vinegar, the second gushed so hard that I have a bruise on my chest where the cap hit me and it sounded like a gunshot. It also tasted like spoiled butter and vinegar.

You are, in my mind, the worst brewery in the country and I will pay for pbr before I risk a free sip of your beer in the future.

Sincerely,
Ears ringing, sore chest, and can't get this awful taste out of my mouth.

Dear old retiree
I'm not wishing for old, just retirement. My job hates me and I hate it and there's nothing either of us seem to be able to do,about it.

Sincerely
Need a few days off too

Dear Got a Long / Need a few,
Listen to old retiree - it'll be here before you know it. And it's very seldom that one can skate through a career without significant grief.

If you could bottle the lube you use & sell it, you'd make a fortune & the country, if not the world, would run a lot more smoothly.
