Dear *****, Thank you for your message today. I understand that you are unsure about whether you wish to continue working in this job. As an employee of a non-profit, I understand that committment to the job is essential. I'm sorry you don't feel inspired by the work, and I understand that you would like to be able to spend more time at home with your son. However, next time you are undecided about whether you will resign or not, I would appreciate if you could find someone else to help you work through this, rather than bringing your indecision to me, your supervisor. If you would like me to help you figure out how to make the job work better for you, I would be delighted to play that role. Since you are not asking for revisions to your job description, but are instead merely musing about whether you will continue in this role or give me your notice in a few weeks, this may have been a misfire on your part. Finally, if you insist on involving me in the process of your pondering, I would greatly appreciate it if you could choose some forum to tell me other than email. When I am 3,000 miles away. Just before a long weekend. Thanks for your attention to this matter, and please let me know what you decide about your plans to continue or leave this job. I will of course wait patiently for your decision. Sincerely, M.

I suppose you can't tell her that she doesn't need to worry about whether to resign or not as she is FIRED. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:1:31 PM COMMENT-BODY:That's really unfortunate. What a nice position you're in now! --------
