Hey all,

Karen from the reception here. Funny – why am I introducing myself if everyone can see who’d they get the e-mail from? But yeah, I guess not everyone here has to know who they work with. I am leaving the company next week, and in this e-mail I wish to clear up a few matters, to avoid misunderstandings – but also because many of you will be trying to figure out the reason for me quitting.

To be honest, I am not fulfilling myself in this job. It’s damn hard to get up every day to go to work, in which you’re aware that people do not want to cooperate. I organized plenty of fun actions for you, or rather for our common good and job atmosphere. See for yourself the statistics of the last three projects:

“Bring a tie to work” day – 6 people
“Crazy hat” day – 2 people (myself included!!!)
“Meet our local preschool” – 0 (yes, zero) propositions were made on what we could show to the kids from the preschool.

As much as I understand that it is something that requires you to show initiative – and it’s exceptionally hard to have initiative if you’re – with respect – a dick; I don’t understand why everybody completely IGNORED the last action! It has been the last straw and spurred me to make a decision to leave. Maybe I’ll tell you more, because I’m nearly sure that most of you didn’t hear about the project.

To be precise, I was organizing a fund pooling action for the Christmas decor – so that you won’t have to do anything, only scrounge up a few bucks (haha, what’s a few bucks – in IT?), and I’d take care of the rest. Attention – in two weeks I managed to collect $17. SEVENTEEN DOLLARS.

I am simply unable to understand this. Wouldn’t you rather work in a nice, decorated office? Don’t you feel the spirit of December? Don’t you feel the necessities and duties coming from being part of society? I don’t know! I don’t understand! But also, I don’t wanna know. We simply have different vibes, different rules and different values. Everyone must individually figure out whose are better. Personally, I know the answer and am certain of it.

Thanks, if anyone has anything to say to me, I’ll be in my office till the end of the week.
