outthedoor··on Ask HN: How much to put in a resignation letter?
Given the overwhelming majority view here, I'm going to do the opposite and write a spectacular bridge burning letter and post it publicly. No one will forget me.

Seriously -- thanks for the input, everyone. I'll keep it short, simple, and professional.

outthedoor··on Ask HN: How much to put in a resignation letter?
What I'd like to achieve is an improved environment for the people I work with. The company is based in another country and the entire senior management are natives of that country, despite over 50% of the revenue being generated in my office. The lack of reward for exceeding quota is just the latest in a line of disrespectful behaviors.

I have a better offer for a job I'm looking forward to starting, so there's nothing I can do that will help me personally. It feels more honest to me to be upfront and, who knows, it might help my colleagues.

I don't think being frank will affect my ability to get references from the people here. Aside from that, are there any other risks?
