'Bye bye sir': Unique resignation letter goes viral

In today’s competitive and aspirational world, people look for better professional opportunities and do not think twice when they decide to switch from one job to another. After you make up your mind to quit your current, you work towards drafting an elaborate resignation letter that would convey this information to your superior. Most people put in a lot of thought while writing their resignation letter.

However, recently a particular employee did something that left the internet amused. The individual's resignation letter just had three words which read, “Bye bye Sir.”

An image of this resignation letter has gone viral on the internet. A large number of social media users have not only shared the image but also discussed the audacity and sense of humor of the employee.


While this letter has worked as a source of entertainment and laughter for most people, many are discussing the reasons or the factors that could have driven the employee towards writing such a short resignation letter. People have come up with multiple theories trying to dissect the mindset of the individual who wrote this letter.

While some believe the employee wrote the message “Bye bye Sir” out of frustration, some are of the opinion that he wanted to have a little fun with his boss before quitting the company. One Twitter user commented that the employee wanted to say things “straight to the point” and did not wish to follow the guidelines for writing a formal resignation letter. Many social media users have also made memes out of this picture.

The picture was originally shared by a Twitter user with the handle @MBSVUDU who captioned it ‘Simple’. The Twitter user, perhaps, thought of writing a caption that would complement the text in the resignation letter. In a very short span of time, the original post has received over 2 lakh likes and more than 50,000 retweets.
