NEWS!

Ladies and Gents, Boys and Girls - the lo-o-o-o-o-ng silence is over. Let's get the latest report underway, which I will keep short and sweet:

(1) I have been offered fantastic offers from two wonderful firms. I am now perusing offer letters and making up my mind.

(2) I have just submitted my resignation letter to "SJ Burn-out" and had a little tete-a-tete with my supervising partner. She actually didn't scream! Sample of said resignation letter in the form I would have preferred to tender it follows:

Dear "Unpersonable B*tch",

As required by my contract of employment, I hereby give you a calendar months' notice of my intention to leave my position as "Ego-massager".

After today's team building meeting, I find myself unable to take this company seriously any longer. I'm afraid I can't take being strategised, reorganised, empowered or re-engineered any more.

While I have a high degree of personal respect for you and the opportunities you have offered me, I am no longer comfortable working for an organization largely populated by politocrats, vengeful rivalries, and fiefdoms reminiscent of imperial Chinese literature. In fact, I dare say that I would rather be tied in a leather bag with ravenous, rabid ocelots than remain at this company any longer than the next four weeks.

You probably realise that I am not the first person to jump off this ship before it sinks. It is my hope that my leaving will save you enough money to install better coffee machines than the ones installed in that mess hall you call a restaurant.

I wish both you and the rest of "SJ Burnout" every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your sorry excuse of a team.

Yours in sincere frustration,
"Now-that-I-have-finally-recovered-some-dignity"

In commemoration of my impending escape from the gas chambers of SJ Burnout together with four other inmates, I have embedded a little video of a marching song we have come to love and sing on a regular basis at the parade square...

Last words for my "Camp Kommandant": "F*CK OFF!"

PS: Watch this space for the next update - which will be published very very soon.
