Today, I told my boss I'm going to quit, after months of being abused, doing meaningless work, and working late every day. I was soon given so many new projects that I didn't even have time to write my resignation letter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML
Today, I tried to quit my job. My boss pulled me into his office and gave me a write-up for quitting, told me that he knows where I live, and that I'd better be at work tomorrow or he's going to come and drag me into work. FML
Today, after working at my job for months, I quit. Why? My boss tried to convince me that we are in a secret relationship, after he told me he loved me. FML
Today, I came in to work to hand in my resignation. The minute I walked in, my manager took me aside and said he wanted to talk to me in private. He then cancelled my position and fired me. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to quit my job after being tortured by my boss for months. My boss responded by throwing a hardcover textbook at me and hitting me in the face. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML
Today, my boss sent me a link on how to write a good resignation letter. FML
Today, I was told by my boss if I was late one more time he fired me. I replied, "Can I quit then if that's the case." He then said no, and gave me more shifts. FML
Today, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just don't do them if you are going to quit than why bother.

If you're going to quit, write the letter and quit. If you do the work it'll be for no reason.

In your resignation letter, explain that you will not have time to complete the projects given to you after your verbal resignation. Do this to cover yourself if they try to give you a bad reference later.

Write the letter during break or when you are off. It doesn't have to be written at work

Just stop going into work. You're going to quit anyways, what are they gonna do, fire you?

So if you wanted meaningful work and they now gave it to you, then your threat to leave was successful. If the other factors like the abuse are not mitigated by meaningful work, then don't do the work, write your letter, and document that you didn't complete the work after/because of your verbal resignation. good luck!

Resignation letters are meant to be written in your own time. Work does not have to provide you the time to write it, or search for another job etc...

Let me help you Dear Boss I quit. Feel free to cut and paste this on to the paper of your choice.

Just call your boss and tell them you're giving your two weeks notice or go in and see him, and tell him in person. It'd be a 5 minute conversation and that's still being nice. I'll admit I've never written a letter when quitting a job...honestly I've always just quit on the spot.
