*hugs* That's horribly guilt trippy. Especially when it's not your fault everyone is resigning at the same time. And perhaps she needs to be better organised about getting replacements.
WHOA, hold on here, waitaminute. Who the hell is she to be sending you a letter like that? How utterly unprofessional, not to mention that certainly won't encourage employees to stay.
This is my supervisor in my speaking, I would *never* say that to an employee choosing to resign.
The evil, exploitation megalomaniac in me urges you to take her guilt trip, feed it back to her and "discuss" salary. Heh, the phrase, "you need me" comes to mind.
Of course, it is well known I had my conscience removed with a swiss army knife (it;s that twisty metal bit next to the scissors and tin opener).
My reply to her: Perhaps your focus should not be that so many are leaving, and perhaps on *why* so many are leaving. In fact, although you urge me to stay on "for the sake of my co-workers", maybe, by leaving and making you consider that people are resigning due to dissatisfaction, and therefore things may be changed in an effort to make the employees better off. And so, for the sake of my co-workers, I repeat: I would rather contract small pox and be forced to survive on the discards of plague-rats than to continue working at TMC.
um, obviously that last sentence is under-construction, and probably negotiable.
