In a surprising move that has captured attention on social media, a Singapore company’s director, Angela Yeoh, shared an unusual resignation letter on LinkedIn. The employee, frustrated with their treatment at the company, chose to resign using toilet paper as a symbolic gesture.
Angela Yeoh, who posted the photo, revealed the employee’s message written on the toilet paper: “I have used this kind of paper to resign because this company has also treated me in the same way. I am leaving the job.” Yeoh explained that the employee felt undervalued and used, much like disposable toilet paper.
In her post, Yeoh emphasised the importance of treating employees with respect. She argued that if employees feel undervalued and compelled to leave in anger and sadness, it is a sign that companies need to reassess their practices. Her post resonated with many, going viral as people agreed with her sentiments.
The incident highlights ongoing issues in workplaces where employees face harassment, lack of recognition, and undue pressure, leading to resignation out of sheer helplessness. Yeoh’s message calls for a change in corporate culture, urging companies to foster an environment where employees feel respected and valued.
