A simple yet striking resignation is going viral on social media, where an employee bluntly stated the real reason for quitting: “Sir, I got sold.”
The short and honest message was shared by Shubham Ghane, the founder and CEO of a private company based in Mumbai, on his LinkedIn profile. According to him, he received this email from an employee named Detwa Shah.
The message read:
“Hi sir, I got sold. The other company is offering a bit more money.”
Shubham Ghane shared the email in a humorous tone, calling it “brutally honest,” which led to the post quickly going viral. Social media users praised the honesty, commenting that this resignation reflects what many employees truly feel but mask behind common phrases like “personal reasons” or “work culture.”
One user jokingly imagined a manager’s reply:
“Alright, do let me know if there’s a vacancy over there!”
People across platforms are calling this the ultimate example of unfiltered honesty, with many appreciating its realistic tone in today’s job market, where switching jobs for better pay is seen as practical, not disloyal.
