The subtext in leaving a company
At my company, a farewell email seems to be the cultural norm when resigning. The WSJ has a good article today about subtext in these type of messages.

People leave people, not companies
Marcus Buckingham, author of First, Break All The Rules, wrote that "people leave managers, not the companies they work for."
The illustration at right is an example of that statement in action. (From Beyond Robson, via Church of the Customer).
Think about it - did you ever leave a job because you really disliked the company, or was it the people (or a person) at the company?
Unfortunately at work, too many of us are reminded of this fact too often.
UPDATE: Now I remember why I was thinking about this - headlines from over the weekend on a new FSU study on bad bosses.
