The weekend manager at our newsagency resigned by SMS text message on Wednesday. No warning, just a text saying thanks for the ride. This person had been in the role for two months. While the current affairs programs are quick to run a story about bosses who sack people by text message I suspect resignation by SMS will attract little attention.
This resignation is frustrating not only because of the staffing impact but also because the person involved was too gutless to have a conversation about their desire to cease working with us. I wish I could register her name on a database so other potential employers could be warned about her.
