Stop Lying on Your Resignation Letter

Sick of faking “thank you for the wonderful opportunities” in your resignation letter? You can still be civil while injecting a hint of honest criticism. State your position, give your exit date, offer a quick nod to any real benefits, and subtly highlight the dealbreakers—like bad work-life balance—without inviting HR drama. It’s about exiting gracefully yet truthfully, ensuring you leave on your terms (and keep that reference option open).
