Do You Think This Will Piss My District Manager Off?

ok, let me first explain the situation… I work for RadioShack and have been loyal to them for over 2 years. 3 days ago a customer came in to buy a cell phone and we didn’t have the one he wanted. We had one like it but it wasn’t free like the other. The system allows us to “price match” on phones up to $71.00 I lowered the price by $50.00. Now, if you aren’t familiar with these high pressured companies everything revolves around selling wireless phones and expensive electronics. Anyway, since I “price matched” the phone’s price he ended up buying an $800.00 computer from me also. Anyway, long story short. The other store in town found out about my price change and tattled on me to the District manager. He in turn, Blew it out of proportion by contacting our loss and prevention manager and “writing me up” for it (I have NEVER been written up) Anyway, i’m going to quit… and thought I would send him a “nice” letter… this is what it says…
To whom it may concern,
To start off I must say that I have been very loyal to this company for over 2 years. I have never betrayed RadioShack or its management. I have always been on time and called in sick once. On multiple occasions I have come into work on my day off or worked weeks straight. I have given the company no reason to think bad about my performance and have always excelled at work. I bend over backwards for the company’s needs and have done things that I was not required to do.
I must also say, when I first started with RadioShack my father was diagnosed with cancer. In July of 2007 he was diagnosed as terminal and was given 8 months to live. Regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed it would benefit the company if I stayed. I spent every moment outside of work and school with my father as I was very close to him (which amounted to about 2 hours a day) and I knew I didn’t have long with him in my life. Within those 8 months I got to spend two days with him for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas.) It would have been very easy for me to quit my job with RadioShack and again, regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed the company would benefit if I stayed. My father passed away in March of 2008. Being the dedicated employee I am, I only took 2 weeks off of work for the grieving of a man that gave me 20 wonderful years of his life. I also have to add, that I have turned down several higher paying jobs because I enjoyed my job at RadioShack. Now, if that doesn’t tell you that I’m a dedicated employee to RadioShack, I don’t know what is.
Let me leave you with a few thoughts and comments…
There have been an abundance of horrible District managers at RadioShack. I have only seen ONE excellent DM within the 2+ years I have been with RadioShack. And YOU sir, are NOT one of them. I think you are one of the most pompous assholes I have ever met. I believe you have absolutely horrible management skills; let alone district management skills. You don’t even know what in the hell you’re doing with the district. You are a poor leader who just got the DM position because they fired the previous DM, and needed a “filler.” You’ll probably be fired right along with the others. You put nothing but stress on the managers and employees with NO sense of gratitude.
You make a big deal about price changing a wireless phone by $50.00 when the company probably makes more than twice that for that sale. Also, if I’m not getting in trouble for that I’m getting in trouble for NOT selling phones… If you haven’t noticed!!! The economy SUCKS! Your salary may not change because of the economy, but my pay does. Just because I changed the price of the phone I also got a $750.00 computer sale out of it. Now, with all that said…
Just in case you are wondering… I QUIT!!! **** YOU AND **** THIS COMPANY. I don’t get paid enough to deal with your BullShit!!!
Sorry it’s so long…. but I need your input for the letter (basically I want to piss him off) anything you would add???

    completely, totally and utterly fabulous! i love how it starts all professionally, very sorry about your dad by the way, and then degrades into name calling and all the basic stuff that is sure to get him worked up. you’ve been given a lotta **** and you deserve to end the job with something big like this!
    nice one ;D

    I wrote something like that to my manager. I was very unprofessional though. I called her an ugly old *****.

    it’s only radio shack. do what you want to do. karma does have an odd way of coming back on people 10x worse than what he did to you. don’t worry he’ll get his in due time. i wouldn’t give him the privilege of my time and effort of a letter. i would never show up for work again and get a new job.

    Sorry about your dad. Your letter is great, but you might want to consider removing the cuss words (atho IMO he deserved it). Telling off the DM about his poor job performance will be enough to piss him off, with or without the cuss words. You can safely assume that the DM will send a copy of this letter to your manager. If the cuss words are in it the DM will send it to your manager in hopes that he’ll make you look bad and unprofessional. I don’t know your manager but with a letter like this one in his hands he might reconsider giving you a glowing reference to future employers. Also consider the fact that the DM is probably your manager’s boss and as such he’ll have to follow whatever requests the DM makes, including requests to give a bad reference to potential employers. …just something else to consider.
