In a striking display of workplace dissatisfaction, a Singapore-based company employee's unconventional resignation letter—penned on toilet paper—has captured widespread attention online.
Shared on LinkedIn, a businesswoman’s post featured a photo of the toilet paper with the caption, “I felt like toilet paper, used when needed, then discarded without a second thought.”
"I have chosen this type of paper for my resignation as a symbol of how I feel this company has treated me. I quit,” the resignation letter read. To emphasize her point, she included a picture of the toilet and shared it on LinkedIn.
She further added, “Make your employees feel so genuinely appreciated that even when they decide to leave, they walk away with gratitude, not resentment. That kind of experience doesn’t speak to a lack of loyalty, it speaks volumes about the company’s culture.”
“Appreciation isn’t just a tool for retention. It’s a reflection of how much a person is valued, not just for what they do but for who they area. If people leave feeling undervalued, it’s time to reflect. Small changes in appreciation make a big impact,” she further added.
Her post quickly went viral, amassing millions of views and comments within days. While many users empathized with the woman's frustration, others cautioned about potential repercussions.
This incident has sparked broader discussions about employee treatment and workplace culture. She expressed feeling anxious and undervalued, stating that her manager's actions “sucked the spirit out of me.” Her candid letter resonated with many, highlighting the importance of respectful and supportive work environments.
These viral resignations underscore a growing demand for better workplace conditions and respectful management practices. As employees continue to share their experiences online, companies are being called to reflect on their organizational cultures and address systemic issues that contribute to employee dissatisfaction.
