Is it a wrong idea to indicate on a resignation letter that you’re boss made some inappropriate comments about you and invited me to some drinks?

No, not very professional even though your boss was the one who was really unprofessional. I’d follow up w HR. Chances are they will contact you in regards to that. You don’t want to burn those bridges as other would say. Trust me even though this is a big world people do know people. If word got out to potential employers about what you did especially if they were friend’s w your boss chances are they’d pass on you. Just keep it professional, file a complaint w HR. That way if something like this comes up w another employee it’s on record to potentially fire him.

No.

Resignation letters serve only to set an end date for your employment with the company- either today, or two (or more) weeks from the date the letter was submitted. Resignation letters are not the way to achieve emotional closure with your job.

Don’t put it there. Complain to HR or your boss’s boss.

It’s going to hr the letter

[QuietVerbena]

That’s fine. But you shouldn’t quit until you see if they’re gonna deal with your complaint or not. They might do something about him and then you don’t have to quit.

Go for it! Keep in mind, I quit my last job by texting a YouTube link of Johnny Paycheck singing “Take This Job and Shove It” to everyone in the company. I also filed a labor department complaint against my employer for overcharging for health insurance. They ruled in my favor and a check for four grand is on the way.

I think a resignation letter should be functional and professional. You don't need to give a reason why your leaving. It's good practice to thank the organisation for any support if you want to go that far.

Grievances should be raised separately. Raise in an exit interview, or direct to HR.

Document everything in your personal space (not somewhere work has access). Keep it all factual and specific. No personal attacks, keep your cool, keep the moral high ground. Play the long game.

I'd add a full report to HR and whoever is higher up on the chain with dates and any screenshots from texts and emails.

Let him burn

I would say you should make a complaint to HR rather than put this in a resignation letter. You will not want to burn bridges as you look for another job.

In a resignation letter, it’s fine. If they doubt why you left, they’re gonna know exactly why after the letter.

[msc545]

yes, it is wrong. Be professional. Write a professional letter.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, it's not wrong to tell it like it is

[TallAnon]

No, but be prepared for a possible legal battle

[736_switch_blade]

Why? He is the one who made the comment and what am I supposed to do keep shut?

[TallAnon]

No, you should, but he might sue you for defamation.

[littlemisslolita]

Yes. It’s Very Rude & Unladylike Of You.

You quit job? What did he say?
