Read the hilarious resignation letter a Woolworths employee sent his boss

A Woolworths worker held nothing back as he handed in a hilarious resignation letter taking aim at his boss.   

Sumit Aryal, who worked as a team member in the produce section of a Woolworths store, emailed in his resignation on February 9. 

A copy of the email was submitted to the Fair Work Comission as Mr Aryal launched legal action against the supermarket.

He argued he was unfairly dismissed by Woolworths claiming he had wanted to relocate stores and maintain his employment – but his name was removed completely from the roster as a result of the letter. 

His tongue-in cheek email started out like any other resignation, explaining Mr Aryal’s last day would be on February 17.

‘It is with a mix of relief and disappointment that I announce my resignation from my position as team member at Woolworths, Grand Central,’ he said.

But soon the tone started to change and Mr Aryal mentioned his time at the workplace had been an ‘eye-opening journey’ – before he unleashed what he really thought about the Woolworths store.

‘The decision to leave stems from the realisation that my tolerance for workplace absurdity, which you have so generously cultivated, has reached its limit,’ he said.

‘Your knack for transforming a simple shift into a feat of Herculean proportions, complete with unnecessary pressure and stress, has been truly remarkable.

‘If only it were a circus act.’

The employee added that whilst they appreciated the ‘opportunity’ of working under the guidance of his boss, it had also been with ‘a touch of bemusement’.

‘I will cherish the memories of our interactions, though I suspect they’ll make for excellent material in my future endeavours,’ he said.

Finishing up the letter, the employee assured his boss he would make sure his exit was ‘smooth’ and would help to find and train a replacement for him. 

To sign off, Mr Aryal added: ‘Thank you for the “memories”‘.

In the letter, the worker said he intended to spread his wings ‘to other Woolworths stores’. 

Mr Aryal was then removed from the roster with the employee taking Woolworths to the FWC in March claiming that he had been unfairly dismissed.

He argued he had wanted to change stores and continue his employment with Woolworths.

Documents from the FWC decision stated he attempted to withdraw his resignation by sending an email on March 4 – more than two weeks after his last shift. 

According to the documents, the supermarket argued Mr Aryal did not seek a transfer within the Woolworths Group.

The FWC stated in its decision in May that Mr Aryal had in fact resigned.

‘From the submissions and evidence provided, it appears Applicant made a decision to resign of his own free will and later sought to withdraw his resignation after his employment had already come to an end,’ it read.

The decision also noted the unfair dismissal application had been filed 29 days after his last shift – going beyond the 21 day timeframe to launch an application.

The case was dismissed.
