Depending on how you worded it, they might just accept your resignation, which might prohibit you from receiving unemployment benefits depending on if judged as quitting with or without cause depending on the state.

An e-mail? yikes.

Hopefully they take sympathy on you and chalk it up to COVIDsanity or a temporary mental break.

The CEO has forgotten more than you'll ever know. Trying to bigtime him/her is definitely a poor move.

This is a standard strategy. the difference is the method (meeting would be better) and the situation (no job lined up). both of those factors make this questionable.

E-mails should only ever be about information. Blasting your emotions all over, especially directly to the damn CEO, is amateur hour.

This is a result of diseconomies of scale.

In a smaller company that attitude would sink them. I've worked for a few F500s as well, I know exactly what you mean. From my experience, it was the, how do you say, "legacy" employees.

Been there, done that. Nothing will change so hopefully you get lucky and they'll spare you a 2nd thought on you staying. Sorry, just telling you the truth because despite all your contributions and praises, you're just a replaceable body.

To be informed when Im needed at meetings instead of being told to drop everything to attend one
To have access to contractors as needed instead of waiting on someone else to make the call

Because everyone is tired of a lack of work ethic and things taking weeks that should take days so Im taking on the lazy departments role and showing that theyre the problem with other departments helping me

I learned my lesson on this already. They loved me, needed me, sung my praises, I poured my blood and sweat into being the absolute best and when I agonizingly decided to leave because I was passed up for a promotion... My boss, who I considered a good friend, said "oh ok. See ya"

You don't meant shit to your employer. That's capitalism

Protip, if ur boss is constantly singing your praises, it means you are being undercompensated for the work you do. Thats their way of keeping you quiet so you don't ask for better conditions or raise or whatever.

Wait, so your ultimatum was over having unexpected meetings and not wanting to go through someone else to speak to contractors?

Those seem like fairly marginal issues for an ultimatum.

What's fucked up about this post is that it's the exact same approach/answer I've seen in management training scenarios. I mean ideally the most mgmt should do to compensate for unfair pay is keep order in the workplace and make sure people are at least comfortable being there but yeah, most don't and just do the lip service thing at bare minimum.

Maybe TC has money saved up and works in a position where finding a job even during a pandemic is easy. I know if I were to quit my current job or get laid off I would be able to find employment within a week or two if needed.
