There's a big difference: no one gives a shit about how authentic a resignation letter is. A thank you note, especially to a friend? Thoughtfulness and authenticity matter there. A lot.

For a while it was fashionable to tell people who were having a hard time finding work that they needed to move. I'm wondering if people are so tolerant of suggesting it the other direction, so: Have you considered moving?
