A Reddit post documenting an employee’s unconventional resignation has gone viral, drawing amused reactions and unexpected praise for the manager involved. Shared under the title ‘The Chronicles of Resignation’, the post captures how a routine inquiry about a resignation turned into a lighthearted exchange involving memes and stickers.
According to the employee, the resignation was impulsive, triggered by long-standing frustration with the work pace and style. After sending a detailed resignation email, the individual received a WhatsApp message from his level-2 manager—someone who had originally helped bring him into the organisation. When asked about the sudden decision, the employee responded with a Hrithik Roshan meme instead of an explanation, to which the manager replied with a casual selfie sticker. The conversation ended with the employee promising to call and clarify.
The screenshot of the chat, shared on Reddit, prompted wide engagement, with many users commenting on the unusually relaxed dynamic between the employee and the manager. While some expressed surprise at the informal tone, others suggested the supportive and easygoing nature of the manager may warrant reconsideration of the resignation. Several users also discussed workplace culture, pointing out that strong rapport and empathy from managers are often rare.
The post continues to circulate across social platforms, sparking conversations about employee-manager relationships, communication styles, and the growing trend of humour-driven interactions in professional spaces.
