A letter to the system that was never built for me. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
I resign. No, this is not your traditional resignation letter. There are no two weeks’ notice from an unapologetic soul. No pretense of gratitude padded in euphemisms like “new opportunities” or “a fresh chapter.” No cordial signing off. I am not resigning from a company, a role, or a team. I am resigning from a system. A gaslit, rigged, suffocating machine built on structural racism, misogyny, false meritocracy, and a cycle that asks me to prove myself at every turn, only to be punished for succeeding.

Ask me about other people I know, and I will be able to give you the list of ten things I like about them and perhaps at least twenty things I don’t like about them, in no time. However, when it comes to myself, it is a strenuous mental exercise. Nevertheless, I will give it a try before our big day, just to show my partner how strongly committed I am.
