XXXXXX, I felt compelled to come in this AM and let you know that as of our conversation on Monday I resign. You made several remarks that helped make this decision 1.You stated " I would think at your age you would want to stay home and enjoy you new house." And you referred to my "age" several times stating don’t take this wrong But.2. Plus you said that if I was not as passionate at SEM as yellow pages I should resign. 3. You said you liked me as a person this makes me question if you like me as an employee. You certainly have made it clear over the last year that you probably don’t. For the last week I have been in such a stress state with the SEM and the move that I went to XXX my shop steward and told him I should resign. He advised me to take a week off and think about it, of which I did. I told you I needed time off because I was tired , you compared me to your children being lazy and going to their room and playing games and sleeping not doing house work well I’m not your child and you need to know I don’t care to be treated like one. I am taking 2 personal days for May 13 and 14, 2 choice days for May 15 and16 I will have a doctors slip. He could’nt get mme in till today. Then Monday May 19 will be my 2 week notice and I will take my 2 weeks vacation. Thank You XXXXXX XXXXXXX
R.H. Donnelly is done and the employees are feeling it.
And don’t be fooled by that recent move upwards. This thing is going to zero. Phonebooks will expire with the boomers who use them.
