Resignation Letter Due to Unfair Treatment

A workplace is restricted by many limitations on behalf of values and principles. The common law of justice must be enforced in all sectors, businesses, organisations, etc., of the country. Fair treatment at every level is the first and foremost requirement since the world came into existence. An injustice of any kind leads to the failure of society. A society where justice and laws are not given any value is always in crisis.

Likewise, a workplace is obliged to provide just and fair treatment from the top management to the bottom. If unfair treatment is seen, the employees always raise their voices. And when the raised voices are muted by the management, the last option leads to resignation. The resignation can also adversely affect the organization’s profitability and reputation.

A resignation letter due to unfair treatment comprises many situations, like:

  1. When an employee feels discriminated against for certain reasons.
  2. When an employee is treated unfairly due to a disability.
  3. When unfair treatment is seen regarding promotion due to favouritism.
  4. When unjust treatment is given due to belief, race, or religion.

Hence, a workplace must avoid such unfair treatment, and if found strict action must be taken. The resignation letter of unfair treatment includes the date on which the letter is written, the names of the employee and departmental manager, company name. Moreover, the reason must be stated concisely and truthfully. The last day at work should also be highlighted.

The following samples are best drafted for the scenario.

Sample Letters

#1

I am writing to submit my formal resignation as the (job title) at ABC Company. This decision has been made with a heavy heart after careful consideration of my situation. I can no longer put up with my supervisor’s continued unfair treatment based on ethical discrimination.

I reported the issue twice to the higher management. However, there has been no satisfactory resolution, and I continue to be treated unfairly. As a result, I believe I should resign from my post and seek a better opportunity at an organization that strongly discourages ethical discrimination.

Please accept this as my formal resignation with a notice period of one week. I will wind up all major tasks during this time and fulfil the handover formalities.

Thank you for the opportunity to work for you.

#2

I am writing to tender my resignation from my position as (job title), effective three weeks from today. This decision was made after the management’s unfair demand to appear at the workplace without my head cover (hijab). This is religious discrimination and goes against the company’s policy regarding diversity and inclusion.

My head cover is a part of my modest attire. It is not an expression of religious extremism. Moreover, it does not impede my ability to perform my work duties effectively. However, the fact that the management feels offended by my headscarf shows a lack of respect for personal and religious freedom in the workplace. Such a stance creates a discriminatory work environment. I cannot continue to work under these conditions.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this resignation letter. I hope my outstanding salary and due benefits will be processed accordingly.

Thank you for the opportunities I’ve had during my time with the company. I wish the team success in the future.

#3

This is my formal resignation letter from my role at XYZ with immediate effect. Mr. ABC’s unfair treatment at the board meeting today has been extremely disrespectful to me. Therefore, I no longer wish to work under him.

I have been working at this organization for the past four years. I have been a hardworking and dedicated employee. However, I am extremely disappointed by the way I was treated at the meeting today. The way Mr. ABC blamed me for the project delay was highly inappropriate and demeaning. Therefore, my decision to resign is final.

Please process my dues at your earliest convenience. Kindly let me know if I need to fulfil any official formalities.

Thank you for your attention to the matter.

#4

I regret to inform you that I have decided to quit my job as the (Job title) at XYZ Company. The ongoing nepotism within the organization has been unfair to self-made and hardworking individuals like me. I can no longer work in such an environment. I, therefore, request you to accept this letter as my formal resignation with a notice period of one week.

I have reported the issue several times to HR. However, nepotism continues to prevail. I have repeatedly been deprived of opportunities despite my capabilities and experience. I believe it is best that I look for opportunities in an organization where my skills and expertise will be valued.

Thank you for the experience and learning I gained during my time with you. I hope the management will reflect on the issue and try to eliminate it for the sake of future growth.

#5

This letter serves as my formal resignation with a notice period of 10 days. As discussed earlier, I feel disturbed by the unfair treatment regarding my salary increment. I have been offered a negligible increment after 5 years of dedicated service. I believe it does not do justice to my hard work and experience. 

I am grateful for the opportunity to work at the organization. I request you to settle all my dues, including my salary and provident fund, within this month.

Thank you for your support.

#6

This letter is to inform you of my decision that I want to resign from my position as a [mention designation]. I am here for the next two weeks as per my contract letter so that you can find my replacement meanwhile.

I found the authorities quite unfair and completely biased. Despite my excellent work and the completion of every project on time, I have been badly ignored when it comes to promotion.

My work is highly appreciated all the time, but I am not rewarded for that. So, I want to work at a place where my efforts and enthusiasm would be appreciated the way I deserve. Though my time here was not a total waste, I learned a lot by working with the experts, and I am highly obliged for that. On the other hand, if any difficulties should arise, you may contact me at the given number. I will happily respond to you.

Sincerely,
