One of the most deliciously-awkward phenomena in the American workplace is the I’m-quitting email, sometimes known as the Farewell email or the This-isn’t-goodbye email. I seem to get one about once a week and though they are usually broadcast to the whole company, hundreds of people, I pretty much view them as words directly aimed at me … which is odd given the fact that I rarely know any of these people and, in some cases, have never physically seen them or spoken to them.
