“ Today is the day. I am leaving this firm. I have spent (I can't say if it was "invested", "endured", or what) almost nine years destroying my soul with this company and today it stops.  Today, I choose authenticity. Today, for no particular reason that anyone will be able to put on an HR database, I will resign. No one will expect it. That, I think, is the most marvellous thing about it - nobody expects someone to resign because he is being destroyed, existentially, by working with this company.  Nobody - except, perhaps, my HR department who will quite possibly have a "reason for leaving" code on the database: Existential Self-Destruction”.
