Dear Fine Former Employer:

It was one year ago today that you threw me under the bus and "requested" my resignation to placate a surly, incompetent coworker who belonged to a protected group, and to basically make life easier for yourselves. This was after putting me through a wee bit of hell for the preceding half-year or so. You sure saved a bundle on severance pay, I had worked there for over a decade, after all.

I'm very happy to inform you that I'm now doing independent contract work and enjoying it immensely. I don't miss the day to day workplace baloney one little bit, I set my own hours and I'm getting by quite nicely, thankyee kindly. And I have plenty of time to do what I darn well please.

They say living well is the best revenge. Well, I'm living proof of that.

Signed,

Self-employed and glad of it.
