To my fear of inadequacy,

As much as I appreciate the opportunities you have provided me, I think it’s time for me to move on and seek prospects elsewhere. I believe that the departure allows me to provide feedback in a closing interview of sorts. No need to drag this out; I’ll give the information here. 

Though beneficial, our shared time witnessed rising disrespect. I cannot place all the blame on your side, however, because I did not address the issues as they arose. I sat back and watched as things escalated beyond my control. However, there were multiple times I attempted to speak up on my behalf, especially when tactics of humiliation started being used. It is not productive to instill anxiety and self-doubts into someone as they are focusing on improvement. Instead of being listened to and validated, the all-knowing fear of inadequacy decided the best approach was to gaslight me and make me feel unsure of my own thoughts. 

Through reflection and therapy sessions, I can now accept that the decision lies with me. Previously, self-doubt masked my inner resilience and self-belief. I’ve turned a page; this ends now. Thank you for the lessons I have learned and for providing me with challenges and obstacles that helped me reach that internal strength. I apologize if this letter has come across as rude or disrespectful. I might have been emotional.

In closing, accept this as my letter of resignation. Using the two-week notice doesn’t seem necessary here, and I’m confident you’ll agree. We shall consider this a clean break and go our separate ways. You needn’t worry about reference requests. Good luck.

Regards,

Me
