Resignation letters from IBM (5 samples)

This blog post will show you samples of “IBM resignation letters.”

Writing an “IBM resignation letter.”

When writing a resignation letter from IBM, these are some of the things that you need to keep in mind.

• If you are employed for one year or less, you must give a one-month notice period. If you are employed for more than one year, you must give two months’ notice.

• If you give the required notice period, you are not obligated to give any reasons for quitting;  however, it would be best to tell your employer why you are leaving your job.

• The first step is to tell your employer about leaving the job and the final work date. Keep it short, as the essential part of the letter is the last date of your work.

• Thank your employer for the position and the opportunities you have enjoyed during your work period.

• Ensure you proofread your letter before sending it to your employer. You can send the letter to your family and friend to check for grammatical errors.

Dear Ms Smith,

I would like to notify you that I am resigning from my position as Assistant Manager for IBM effective August 21. 

Thank you very much for the opportunity you’ve given me to learn all about store management and proper customer service. I have genuinely enjoyed my time with the company, and I believe the experience has taught me much about the furniture industry as well as how to effectively manage employees.

Next month I will be taking a position as a manager of a new retail store, but in the meantime, I will be happy to assist in the transition of a new Assistant Manager.

Sincerely,

Joseph Q. Hunter (signature hard copy letter)

Dear Ginni,

I write this letter to you on my last day at IBM. I write it with the utmost love and the deepest sadness. I love having been an IBMer because I got to work with some of the best people I have ever met. I am sad because even with so many great IBMers, we can’t seem to transform IBM.

I joined a little over four years ago because I thought I could be essential in helping IBM transform to once again make delightful cupcakes. I am not resigning to join another company, nor to retire. I am resigning because I no longer believe that IBM is heading in the direction of ever making a delightful cupcake again.

In the four years we’ve worked on delivering a transformative product, the closest we came was Bluemix. But despite its initial promise as a platform to rival Amazon Web Services (AWS), it’s quite clear that it has succumbed to the IBM business model: satisfying our largest customers, but not delighting buyers who’ve never bought from IBM before. Despite all the wonderful UI work poured into Bluemix, AWS is still a more delightful user experience. And Amazon is pulling further ahead with each new release of AWS services.

And it’s not just Bluemix that has come up short. I’ve gotten to know our portfolios pretty well, first as part of IBM Design and currently as part of the Global Offering Management Transformation team. Across the board, our offerings are still primarily focused on our highest-end customers, who have the most demanding criteria, and require the most complex features and functions.

When I look around at the number of cupcakes introduced by competitors in recent years (Slack, Zoom, Tableau, Splunk, Mailchimp, ServiceNow, Cloudflare, Google Apps), I think to myself each time: “IBM could have easily produced such an offering if we’d succeeded in our transformation.” In my four years as an IBMer, we have failed to deliver a cupcake that has wowed the market. We haven’t even come close. This leads me to the disappointing conclusion that we probably never will.

Consider this resignation letter free advice from an seasoned IT analyst who IBM used to listen to for constructive criticism. Perhaps it’s not too late. If enough IBMers speak up and say our transformation is failing, that we are not successful enough in winning new SMB users who have barely heard of IBM, then maybe you and the other IBM senior executives will redouble your efforts to truly complete the transformation. Nothing would make me prouder than to see IBM wow the market with a truly delightful cupcake that becomes a broad market leader in the cloud.

Until then, my deepest thanks to you for your tremendous efforts to transform IBM, and to my fellow IBMers for all they have shared with me. I am proud to have been an IBMer. I will always be grateful for the amazing experience of being an IBMer during such a transformative time.

Most sincerely,

— Nick”

“Dear Mr Kaveni,

It is with remorse that I write to you today with my formal resignation. My last day of work will be January 8th, 2017.

The short notice is somewhat personal; all I can say is that I am no longer in need of employment. I want you to know it has nothing to do with you or the company. I have enjoyed my four years at IBM and have nothing but good things to say about management and my co-workers.

I hope you’ll accept this short notice of resignation, and please let me know if I can help find or train a replacement.

Best wishes,
