A Reddit workplace post sharing a former manager’s message to an employee who resigned has drawn more than 16,000 likes. The manager said he hoped the employee’s progress would mean he never had a reason to return to the company.

Reddit workplace post describes a change of heart

The former manager had initially questioned the employee’s decision to resign and said the company’s doors would remain open if he wanted to return. After seeing the employee’s LinkedIn post, the manager said he was impressed by his progress.

He then said the doors would be closed—not because the employee was unwelcome, but because he hoped the employee would never need to come back. The account was shared on the Indian Workplace subreddit.

Readers respond to the message

Commenters praised the manager’s response, with one calling it a “Rare W in the corporate world” and another describing it as an example of leadership.

One comment in the discussion described leaving a corporate job two years earlier to pursue an independent venture and said the outcome had been better than expected.
