The letter i can't wait to send

as soon as i find another job, and i'm diligently hunting

To Whom It May Concern,

After being told I am the biggest bitch I have decided it best for both my sanity and your physical well being that I find another job. I have been searching for quite sometime and unfortunately the economy has slowed my progress considerably, otherwise I would've been out that door at a much quicker speed. Considering not all of us have soon-to-be ex-hubands who can buy us all coffee shops that we know nothing about, and pay the employees salaries when you can't afford it yourself, I actually have to WORK for a living. I can't just stand in a bakery all day pretending that I'm working, oh, so hard, and I can't take several 20 minute smoke breaks, or hold "meetings" with random men who enter your establishment. No, I keep my legs closed, which means I actually have to work.

You see, calling an employee a bitch and telling them you can't stand the sight of them, well, that usually makes them unhappy. So does screaming at them at the top your lungs like they are bad dogs, or small children. I am an adult, just talking to me is sufficient.

As if all of the above wasn't enough to push me out the door i find that the night shift leader is making 50 cents more than myself, your manager. That the males at your establishment make much more than the females, and that they told everyone themselves without being asked.
I don't know if you've heard of the Lily Ledbetter Law, but maybe you should look into it. I also feel that after almost a year of you owning this business I should tell you something very important. You didn't buy a Panera franchise. I think you thought you did, since every word out of your mouth is 'THIS is what Panera does' we all thought you'd realize it, but if you haven't by know you never will unless someone tells you.

Also, the reason people don't come in isn't because they think the Dorman's still own it, it's because I've heard SEVERAL people say that you're a "skank" or "trailer trash" and even "a slut." At least 10 women and even more men who were regulars won't come in and have personally told me it's because of you, and the ones who still do come in call you quite colorful things.

Well, it's been an interesting time working for you, to say the least, but it's time I moved on to a more professional place of employment where the owner actually know what they're doing. As someone who hopes to run my own business one day I want to thank you for teaching me exactly how NOT to run a business. This new knowledge is valuable. I have learned how NOT to treat employees who work their asses off for you, and how NOT to run a business into the ground. I have learned that you don't put down how an employee looks, especially in an independently owned coffee house. I learned NOT to throw myself at every man who enters the business and let random men go down in the basement with you to do god knows what.

It will be uplifting to never have to work for work for someone as underhanded, deceitful and lacking in basic human intelligence as you. I am NOT giving 2 weeks notice for the fact that an employee who gave you 2 weeks didn't actually get her 2 weeks, and frankly, you don't deserve any notice, you deserve to drown in your ignorance. Good luck with your endeavers, you're surely going to need it!
