Fun times at the Dallas branch! |
I resigned from my loan officer position at State Bank & Trust about nine months ago. After 25 years with the same management, it was a huge change for everyone. ย After a quarter-century, I couldn’t just write any old plain vanilla milk toast resignation letter…
I’ve had several friends request a copy of my letter, so I’m printing it here.
To: State Bank & Trust
Re: Letter of Resignation
It is with mixed emotions that I write this letter to notify you that
ย ____I’m bored with the same ole stories
____ I hate all ย my work clothes
____ I am tired of doing banking reports
____ I can’t hold my stomach in anymore
_x__ it’s time for a change.
I am therefore
____ going to beauty school
____ dropping out of society
____ getting plastered
____ learning Mandarin
____ having another baby
____ joining the clergy
_x__ tendering my resignation from the bank.
Please note that
____ I am hilarious
____ you will never see me again
____ I am hearing voices
____ I am changing my phone number
_x__ November 1, 2011 will be my last day of employment.
I would like to thank you for
____ never a dull moment
____ second hand smoke
____ internet access
____ free coffee and cheap insurance
____ letting me wear pants since 1995
____ a wonderful, fun job for a long, long time
_x__ ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Yours very truly,
Talya Tate Boerner

You really sent this? Of course you did. It sounds just like you. I loved it and I am sure David did too.(NOT) I have always liked that picture of everyone in their Mavs’ shirts. The sign across the top says: “TATE BANK & TRUST”. All of you did have some fun at that bank. Talya’s Mom
