Workplace Environment or Culture

I am writing to formally resign from my job as (Job title) at (Company Name). After much consideration, I have decided to step away from my current position due to an unpleasant workplace environment.

I have discussed my issues with the management several times before. However, the problems remain unresolved. There is significant internal politics among employees that creates an unfriendly atmosphere. It is challenging for me to work in such an environment. 

Thank you for your understanding. I wish the company continues to grow and overcome all internal issues.

Change in Career Path

This letter serves as my formal resignation from my role as (Job Title) at (Company Name), effective 1st of March. This decision has been made due to my desire to move new career direction that would help me pursue my interests.

I will be working as a freelance photographer to fulfill my passion for photography. This new role will provide more work flexibility along with more exciting opportunities.

I would like to emphasize that it has been an honor to work for your prestigious organization and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to gain valuable experience here. However, a 9 to 5 desk job had started to feel mundane. It was hindering my personal growth. Therefore, changing my career path will bring more excitement and learning opportunities.

Thank you for contributing to my professional experience. I wish you further growth and success in the future.

Starting a Business or Entrepreneurship

I am writing to formally announce my resignation from my post as (Job Title) at XYZ with a notice period of 1 week.

I have been planning to start my own e-commerce business for some time. I am pleased to inform you that my e-store will officially open next week. I have, therefore, decided to step away from my job at XYZ since it will be a conflict of interest. In addition, I will also need to invest a significant amount of time to run my business.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the management for the opportunity to work here. I appreciate the healthy work environment. It has been a valuable experience.

Thank you for your support.

#10

Lack of Work-Life Balance

I am writing to inform you of my decision to step away from my job at ABC Company. Please accept this as my official resignation with a notice period of 2 weeks. Kindly make arrangements during this time to find my replacement. I offer my complete assistance to you during the transition period.

Although it has been a wonderful opportunity to work for you, my family life has been suffering due to my over-demanding work responsibilities. Our previous discussions regarding the issue were futile since we could not figure out a more flexible work schedule. Therefore, I feel it is best that I step away from the job for the time being.

I hope to collaborate again in the future once I have settled down. Thank you for your understanding and support.
