Hope you guys will enjoy it:
A Manager looking through his mailbox was astonished to see an email from an employee who was supposed to be busy working on a critical project at the client site. It had the subject - "TaTa - Bye Bye." With the worst premonition, he opened the email and read the content with trembling hands:
Dear Sir,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you, but I'm leaving the job. The offer was too lucrative and attractive for me to turn down. I had to abscond because I wanted to avoid a scene with HR and you. I am sorry, but I had no choice.
The project is working fine. There are only 108 issues pending, out of which only 38% are high priority. Hence, I am sure there is no need to worry. The next phase of major enhancements I have been working on has been completed halfway. I am sure the new person who would replace me would not understand all that I have done so far. Hence, for his and your convenience, I have taken care to remove all the work that I have been doing for nearly three months now. I am sure you will appreciate my insight and "big heart."
I am, of course, retaining the originals that I had retrieved for the purpose of passport verification with me, considering it as a parting gift from you. Of course, I will not pay the bond amount that I owe the company (since I am breaking the bond). But I will consider this as a parting gift from our dear company. I am moving out of town since the new company is situated in another city.
Also, I have changed my contact number, so you will not be able to get in touch with me to congratulate me. But I know your blessings are always with me. Last but not least, I also have the Rs 12,000 entrusted to me by our company's cultural events group for the upcoming movie event. I am sure you would have wanted me to keep it with myself as an added bonus from our company. I respect you very much; hence your wish is my command.
Don't worry, sir. I am two years experienced now, learning so much from your company. So I will surely use this knowledge to write better programs for the new company. Someday, I'm sure we will meet sometime in the future. If you wish, I will surely be glad to give my employee reference for you to apply for a job in the new company which I am joining.
Your faithful employee,
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PS." Hands still trembling, the Manager read:
PS: Dearest Manager, none of the above is true. I'm still busy working at the client site. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my "Request to reconsider my Salary Appraisal" attached with this email. Please approve it and call when it is safe for me to come to our office to discuss this.
My respect and best regards to you!
Do you want to know what the Manager replied? Here it is:
Dear faithful employee,
It is good that you have taken matters into your own hands. We felt that if we had initiated this, it would be a black mark on your career, and considering your two years of faithful service to the company, we didn't want you to suffer.
Regarding the originals, you have all my blessings along with them as a parting gift. If you check your payslip, you will find that we had been deducting a sum of Rs 1,000 towards "Insurance against Bond Breaking." This should cover the loss to the company due to your decision to break the bond and abscond. So you need not have any guilt.
As for the pending work, we already have trained a person offsite to replace you (it was part of our rotation and ITSC plan), and he is already familiar with the programs that you have created. Moreover, we had taken a daily backup of the programs, so we have the latest versions with us. So no worries on this aspect too.
You may also be very interested to know that I have also resigned and am moving to the same company that you are moving to. I came to know about your move as it was me who took your interview and also selected you to be a part of my team. So you don't have to tell me your new contact number, and I will ensure that the Rs 12,000 is compensated in ways that will not impact you too much. I'm sure you would want to add value to the new company through your finances and your effort.
I will initiate your exit formalities here. It is good that you will be absconding because the exit formality is much quicker, and you can also join the new job much earlier. I verified with HR and found that you have Rs 20,000 as dues to be paid to you because of your non-availed leaves. I will arrange to transfer that money to my account as I'm sure you will want to reward me for ensuring an easy, quick, and no-strings-attached exit for you from this company.
All the best in your new job!
Yours sincerely,
Manager.
PS: Dearest Employee, all the above is not true. This is just to show you how much worse your situation could be. So be happy with the appraisal that was sent to you and enjoy your work!!

MANAGER
