"I resign. This is effective immediately"

About 1.5 years ago I joined a FAANG corp. Within two months I hated it. The team I worked with was fine, but my manager was, and forever will be, an uninspiring corporate tool. The predictable lingo, the unimaginative goals, the bureaucratic and impersonal 1-on-1s, the lack of empathy and support, just an all-around waste of carbon. I put up with it for a year because the money was pretty good, but when he started to push the Return To Office crap I couldn't anymore. One day I got an email from him about an RTO date with HR on the thread, so I responded with the above, closed my laptop, and never looked back. Took a couple of vacations before starting my job hunt and in 3 weeks found a new one earning a little less but way better in every other measure.

I was only able to do this because for the last 10 years we've built a safety net giving my wife and I the financial freedom to walk away from a shitty situation on a dime. Financial independence gave me the option to tell my manager to eat a bag of dicks while I vacationed in the Galapagos.
