The Writer

I am a lowly worker at The Company – stuck in the mundane task of making people’s work look better for the clients. Although considered as the among the “cream of the crop” at The Company, I long to be free from the invisible shackles that hold me in place. A lot of my friends have already escaped The Company for one reason or another. When’s my turn? Time will tell.

Don’t judge my blog by its URL – you are not a judge! LOL However, you are free to scrutinize every piece and entry that appeals to your interest – comment, if you want to.

As of July 8, 2009:

The Writer is almost free of the shackles at The Company. I’m quitting so as 1) not to sound a hypocrite, and 2) to get my life back.

Sample Resignation Letter:

Dear Sir/Madam Department Manager:

Good day!

The job at The Company had been rewarding and challenging at first but I realized that there’s more to life than rewards and challenges. There is this thing called “Life”.

Well, it was great working with and for you but I have to go.

See ya at the beach!

Funfully,

Lowly Employee

    Wait.. If you are at the “Company”.. You are but a number with no unique traits.. A lowly number who must follow policy at every turn. Free thinkers are not good for the common goal of the company.. Company is the thought.. Free thought will lead to banishment..
