‘Main bik gaya': Brutally honest resignation email goes viral, leaves LinkedIn in splits
A no-frills resignation email has taken LinkedIn by storm, thanks to its raw honesty and unexpected humour. Shared by Shubham Gune, the founder and CEO of Mumbai-based brand Hinglish, the post is titled 'Honest Resignation,' and it lives up to its name. The viral screenshot features an email from one Dayitva Shah, who wrote with striking simplicity: 'Hi sir, Main bik gaya. Saamne waali company chaar paise zyaada de rahi hai.' (I've sold myself. Another ompany is giving a marginal raise). He signed off with just, 'Regards'. The Internet couldn't get enough. Many people responded this is exactly what they wish they could write in their own resignation emails. One person commented, 'Honesty is the best policy I heard,' while another said, 'Kon duniya, kon chaar log.. all that matters is chaar paisa.' (All that matters is money). One user wrote, 'I believe the issue is more than just 4 paise—it's the toxic environment.' Another chimed in, 'Isn't it just so relatable? We all want to say this, but instead we smile and hand over a carefully worded goodbye.' This wasn't the only instance of unfiltered honesty at work to go viral recently. Noida-based HR professional Khushie Chaurasiya shared a post about a new hire who quit on day one. A straightforward text from the employee said: 'Mujhe yeh kaam pasand nahi aaya.' (I didn't like this work.) Chaurasiya mentioned that the role, while demanding, had been explained in detail before the offer. Still, she was left puzzled by the sudden change. 'What changed overnight?' she wondered in her post.
