How To Resign Classily
From the Awl, a real e-mail sent from an intern to the editor-in-chief of a well-known web publication:
This is not going to work out. After last week, I can no longer in good conscience stay at [NAME OF PUBLICATION]. I don’t think making bar graphs and quoting other websites is going to make me be a better writer. I quit.
Good luck selling those [NAME OF ONE OF THE PUBLICATION’S ADVERTISERS].
Yikes.
Stay classy, intern.
The commenters have it best:
