Resignation Letter Due to Unprofessional Boss

Any unsatisfactory situation at the workplace can lead to a resignation. These unsatisfactory conditions are those that are unable to cope with. They are complicated to resolve. But, most employees try numerous ways to deal with or manage. But, when they fail to do so and things get on their nerves, there is the best possible solution to resign. A mind console is not more than anything in the world.

The letter is a formal document written by an employee when s/he feels that the boss is unprofessional or incapable of dealing with official matters. For some employees working under such a boss is stressful as well as unfruitful in the end. Also, it may put one’s career in danger.

The office environment needs to be much more professional and civilized. A carefree attitude of higher authorities misguides all the employees. Their diligence level is demoralized. Additionally, the willingness to become creative just wipes away. Moreover, such an environment cannot be compromised in any way. When bosses are unprofessional, employees resign.

In the following situations, one can resign due to the unprofessional boss.

  1. When the boss’s attitude towards work assignments completion is careless and s/he never focuses on the problem statement.
  2. The boss never copes with the technicalities due to lesser known and creates biases.
  3. He/she likes flattering instead of professional competency.
  4. He/she futile all efforts of his subordinates while indicating useless changing.
  5. He/she wastes efforts while diverting focus from the main task.
  6. He/she always blames for his mistakes to subordinates.

The resignation letter should be brief, and the purpose of resigning should be clear to the boss. There should not be any blame or useless complaints in the letter. It should be straightforward and all the words in the letter should be as per real scenarios.

Sample Letters

#1

I am writing to formally resign from my position as (job title) at XYZ Company with a two-week notice. I no longer feel comfortable working here due to an unprofessional environment.

Resigning from my job has been a difficult decision. However, the demoralizing attitude of my Manager, ABC has left me with no choice. He is over-critical and constantly bashes me with degrading remarks in front of the rest of the team. This unprofessional behavior is unacceptable.

I have brought this issue up with the HR on a couple of occasions. However, I did not receive a satisfactory response to resolve the problem. I, therefore, have decided to quit. 

Thank you for your understanding.

It is with a heavy heart I submit my resignation from my job at XYZ Company with effect from (date) with a notice period of 1 week.

I have always valued and exhibited professionalism in the workplace. However, unfortunately, I have always experienced an unprofessional attitude from my supervisor, Mr. Doe. He has been showing favoritism for some members of our team and disregards others, including myself. We are overburdened by the workload of the ones he favors more. They also enjoy his special treatment and can get away from mistakes.

Moreover, he never holds them accountable for missed deadlines or other work-related failures. I, on the other hand, have always felt a huge pressure of work that Mr. Doe dumps on me and expects me to finish perfectly within tight deadlines.

As a result, I have been compelled to decide to quit. I am grateful for the opportunity the company provided me with. However, I believe it is in my best interest to leave.

Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing this letter to resign from my post [INSERT DESIGNATION] from the company [INSERT NAME] effective [INSERT DATE]. I had a great experience in this company and learned a lot in every regard. I want to thank the management for trusting me for being capable of this post but certain factors made me leave the job immediately.

A boss in any firm or institute is the key part to upholding the environment at the workplace; constructive or destructive. If a boss himself is unprofessional and unethical then how could the subordinates be submissive to him?

I confronted the same situation for a long but now it has become impossible for me to take it anymore. My supervisor was an extremely rude person I complained to you many times, but you never showed any concern. He becomes abusive over trifles which is intolerable no matter what.

I tried hard to keep up working here but his unceasing misbehave and constant mum from authorities on this issue encouraged me to take the final decision.
