Woman writes bitchy quitting letter, berates colleagues and her profession. It's kinda funny, or is it?

THIS could well be the greatest job quitting letter ever. Then again, it could just be a horribly bitchy rant. READ it for yourself and decide.

If you think Britney is even half as good as her, then you probably think external auditing is more interesting than internal au

A WOMAN in America who worked as an auditor has written the most awesome quitting letter ever, mercilessly berating her gossipy workmates and describing her profession as "a job for people who truly don't have other options".

In many ways this is good fun. This is the quitting letter so many of us should have written in the past and which so many of us would probably like to write today.

Seriously, this woman holds nothing back. Here are some samples. This is her serve to Sleazy Undermining Office Dude:

"You're fake important and you stink. I've peeped your game ... constantly trying to throw me under the bus. You talk too much about everyone and how much you're so stressed out on all of your clients ... everyday we suffer from hearing this ish as well as listening to your countless stories about your girlfriend. You're such a gossiper that sometimes I think you're more feminine then you appear. Who does that? You're a grown man, get your life! #somethingtotakebacktomizzy #f*outtahere #yourlifesucksandyouclearlyknowit #somethingtotakebacktotheteam? #chattycathy #femininemuch? #someoneneedstheirv**waxed #ohwaityoudonthaveone"

Here's what she had to say about the latest management fads:

"Those coach and partner "relationships" or "meetings" ... whatever you want to call them ... Just stop. #thatishissoawkward #icantdeal #soforced #fakeconvosforfakeauditors #noidontwanttogazeintoyoureyesatatablefortwo #waytoointimateformytaste"

And here are her delightful words of advice to Pet-Obsessed Colleague:

"P.s. XXXXXX, I can give two s**ts about your animals, maids, brother, etc. Is your life really that boring? Never seen people so in love with animals in life. #ewwnotcomingovertoyourplace #probsmellslikefecesandthrowup #couchesprobtornup #ohletmeguesstheysleepinyourbed #absolutelydisgusting | Get some friends to tell your business to. #ohwaitdrakesaidnonewfriends #maybeyouneedjesusinstead #yourvisionofyourselfisskewed #takeyourselfdownacoupleofnotches #youhavenotarrivedimsorry #crownforthequeenbey #ohandbythewaycelinedioncannottouchbey #beyhivebitches"

The letter then turns into a rant on why Beyonce is better than Britney, which is actually rather convincing. Not that anyone with a brain needed convincing of that, but anyway.

Now for the part of this story you're not expecting.

While we think this letter is mostly pretty terrific and daring and all that, we also think it's a bit mean - especially to the profession of auditing itself.

The woman says "auditing is for the birds, get a real career that has meaning" and "auditing is a job for people who truly don't have any other options and don't know what else they could be doing."

That sounded a little embittered to us, so we contacted Peter Jones, CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors, to tell us why auditing is a perfectly awesome profession. And you know what? He pretty much convinced us.

First, Peter explained that there are two types of auditors. EXTERNAL AUDITORS do the mundane grunt work, providing assurance to shareholders that a company's financial accounts are correct and in order.

INTERNAL AUDITING is very different. This is the sexy side of auditing, where the cool forensic stuff happens. You might be uncovering evidence of fraud and corruption, or simply getting to know a business inside out so you can help provide strategic value to management.

We can't be sure, but its' likely the letter-writing woman was an external auditor. Either way, there's no reason for such general disgruntlement with the profession, says Peter Jones.

"I feel very sad for this particular person," Mr Jones told news.com.au. "All the internal auditors that I meet are extremely satisfied with the careers that they have.

"I think anyone who resigns in this sort of way is fairly sad and is clearly open to ridicule. Everyone makes choices in their life and if she doesn't like auditing, she should get out of it."

She has. And while she's clearly thrilled to be out of the game, there's every chance the auditing community is glad to have closed the books on her too.
