Contract Attorney Rips Biglaw Supervisor In Farewell Email

A contract attorney sends around a parody of a heartfelt farewell exposing the plight of the document reviewer.

Dear [XXXXX],

It is with sincere regret that I announce my resignation from the [XXXXX] contract review project, effective two weeks from today.

This was not an easy decision for me. The past three and one-half months have been very rewarding. I’ve enjoyed working for you and the Batch Request Team (please!), in addition to the opportunities for growth that Tier 2 reviewing has provided me.

Working with you and the Batch Request Team has been a great honor for me. Your communication style and management skills are no doubt a great asset to the [XXXXX] family, and I hope that one day you’ll consider joining my solo practice as a client. Indeed, your lack of sarcasm, in addition to your kindness, has been paramount to our success on this project.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that your unrelenting compassion, coupled with the tremendous respect you’ve shown to my colleagues, has been nothing short of inspirational. You communicate with poise and sincerity, and keep project members informed on a minute-by-minute basis. It is rare to find a company that treats its employees with such graciousness, hospitality, and affection. It’s just nice to know that people feel comfortable approaching you and asking questions; we always know you’re going to have a quick response that will be helpful and direct! And for this, I thank you. 

It’s been a real hard job, but for the best I’m sure. I just hope you take care of my friends – my colleagues – and keep the client happy.

Thank you,

[XXXXX], Esq.
Tier 2 Contract Attorney
(Non Batch Request Status)
New York Off-Site/On-Site
