An HR professional’s instant resignation email slamming toxic management and a colleague has sparked a massive discussion online.
Updated on: May 16, 2026 1:13 PM IST By Trisha Sengupta Share via Copy link A LinkedIn post by an HR professional has ignited a massive debate on workplace toxicity and the true definition of productivity. Choosing to resign immediately without serving a notice period, the professional called out the company's culture for treating employees like robots rather than human beings. The viral post has struck a chord across the corporate spectrum, drawing attention to employees' growing frustration with rigid management styles. The HR professional's post has gone viral. (Representative image). (Unsplash) “Yes, I finally resigned today without serving any notice period,” a HR professional, Charmi Maheshwari, wrote on LinkedIn. Also Read: Indian woman quits after boss shouts at her publicly: ‘Good luck finding my replacement’ Maheshwari shared that people may judge her by saying, “This is Gen Z behaviour” or “You don’t care about your future.” However, she explained that she left the job because she was unable to “do anything meaningful for employees due to the working culture, team mindset, and management approach.” She continued that sitting in front of a computer for a long time was not productive but “unhealthy”. Expressing her opinion about the work culture, she added, “Employees should be treated as humans, not robots programmed only to fulfil management requirements. A company does not just hire skills; it hires people with emotions, ideas, and personal lives too.” The corporate professional explained that she is a type of HR professional who supports “the young generation.” She ended her post with advice for new professionals. “Before joining any organisation, don’t just look at the salary or designation — first understand the work culture. A healthy environment matters more than anything in the long run.” She added, “Sometimes resigning is not about being weak or irresponsible. Sometimes it’s about choosing self-respect, mental peace, and a better future.” Further, she shared screenshots of her resignation email, in which she urged management to care about employees and their problems. She also called out a colleague, claiming that many employees resigned from the organisation because of them. She concluded her resignation letter by thanking the company's MD.What did social media say?
An individual wrote, “Many employers may not have the best opinion about Gen Z because our generation is different from the previous ones. We are not afraid to question things, stand up for our rights, and speak against unfair treatment. We strongly believe that self-respect, mental peace, and a healthy work culture are more important than salary alone. However, Gen Z is not against hard work or professionalism; we simply believe that respect and dignity should always be part of the workplace.” Another posted, “Something very similar happened with me, but I tried to speak to the management first. Instead of taking action, they terminated me. I didn't resign because I genuinely didn't wanna lose my job due to the current situation, but I am glad they terminated me. I only worked with the firm for about 1 month. And while I was speaking, they told me, "We think you are taking everything personally." And that time I realised it was their toxic, unethical, disrespectful working culture.” Also Read: Gurgaon man worked as Uber driver to pay rent and EMIs after being fired suddenly A third commented, “Honestly, I can relate to this a lot. A company grows when management puts genuine effort into building people, processes, and a healthy work culture. But when employees constantly feel unheard, unsupported, or directionless, it slowly feels less like building a company and more like breaking one down from within. At the end of the day, no employee leaves a healthy environment without a reason. Wishing you better opportunities and a workplace that truly values people.” (Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
