Resignation letter due to personality clash

Writing a resignation letter due to personality clash can be a bit “tricky”.

If you are resigning because of problems with a co-worker or a clash of some sort, we recommend being careful with the words you choose to use when you are writing the letter, especially because they are formal letters and not complaint letters, so they should be written in a professional tone. 

Stating the reason why you are resigning is recommended but without being too specific.

Instead, try writing it under s positive tone where you highlight how the position positively influenced your profession and allowed you to develop certain skills. 

In addition, words such as “disagreement”, “confrontation”, “conflict” can be used but with caution.

Dear [Recipients Name],

I am writing this letter as a notice of my immediate resignation from being the public sales representative of the company.

The reason for my resignation is the fact that our newly promoted team leader has been dominating with us to the point where I find it extremely unreasonable. Also, the constant verbal abuse that we have been receiving from him is a thing that I very strongly disapprove. Just the other day, Michael had berated one of my teammates so much that she burst into tears. What’s more, Michael did not even have the grace to do this in private. The whole office was witness to the verbal beating my colleague received undeservedly. All of these things go against my values as a professional, and as a form of protest, I submit my resignation to you. I have found management not to be as concerned with these issues as I am, and I find that very distressful as well.

Despite these circumstances, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge from working for the company. I thank the management for this opportunity, and I wish everyone all the best.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if the need arises, especially if it involves the training of my new replacement.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

“Dear Sir/Ma’am,

I have been a part of this organization for the past 8 months. In this time, I have been provided the opportunity to enrich my experience and enhance my skill set, for which I am extremely thankful to the organization.

While I have enjoyed discovering practical aspects of the banking sector, I have reservations regarding a few practices that are essential to the operations of the industry. I have tried to adapt to the industry but have found myself unable to conform to the requirements of my role in the organization.

Therefore, I regret to inform you that I have decided to resign from my post in this organization. This has been a difficult decision for me, but I feel that I will not be able to perform well in this sector.

Kindly accept this letter as my one month notice for resignation.

Thank you for providing me the opportunity to work at this prestigious organization.

Kind regards,

Mr. XYZ.”
