THE INSIDER: Leaving a job like a boss
A disgruntled retiree's stinging exit letter fails to impress the boss
If you’ve ever dreamt of telling your bosses exactly what you think of them, you’re not alone. The Telegraph in the UK reports that one retiree in the US has become a hero for disgruntled workers everywhere after he did exactly that. Michael Stuban, 58, recently stepped down from his job at the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC), where he had been working for 35 years. On his final day in the job, he completed an exit questionnaire, revealing exactly what he thought about his employer. Then, instead of returning it to the human resources department as instructed, he e-mailed it to all 2,000 of the commission’s employees. "When they asked for an honest exit interview, I gave them one," Stuban told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I sent it minutes before I officially retired."
