To the manufacturer of my battery-powered analogue alarm clock, which has automatic time setting from a radio time signal ...
The whole point of this clock is that I can glimpse across at it and see what the time is. The actual time. Not some time vaguely close to that time. Within a few seconds is accurate enough. (If I want to know the time accurate to the exact second I can look at my phone.) 25 minutes slow is NOT good enough!
Granted, the battery was running flat but what I want is for a warning LED to flash to tell me that before the lack of power causes problems. If I ignore those warnings, then stop the clock rather than just letting it get slower and slower.
My clock does not have the warning and I did not notice that it was running slow until I was 25 minutes late getting ready for an appointment. Fortunately, it was not an urgent appointment but it could have been!

I know that I will not be getting an apology. You have obviously been taking lesson in being cantankerous, and obnoxious. My life will be so much simpler without you in it.

Ive been in this job for 6 years. I have not gained anything, I have not received anything of value -- even the hourly rate is shoot. I have to beg 30mins on the phone for just one day off and on top of that. We dont get any respect from you our managers, our client or their customers.
I had a problem with the manager where you were sending me, I warned you there would be trouble but you played it down and punished me when there was trouble and refused to pay me for even turning up for work when I decided I had enough of this clients abuse that I picked up by bags and left.
Ontop of that, you the managers have lied to me, not just once but on multiple occasions. firstly being about the our hourly rate, second about backdating some pay to keep us all happy, thirdly about changes to the contract and how I wouldnt be affected. but I have been affected and you have made no effort to accomodate my needs or wants.
You know that I cycle to work, but you have me split between two different locations and not one location has a locker spare for me to stow my personal belongings. I ask you to accommodate me but you told me to let all the changes settle but I am still stuck in the same places and even my request for bits of uniform to replace the ones that are worn have been ignored.
You've pretty much left me to rot and don't try to sweet talk me and say otherwise because I have been in the same shitty position before. left to rot with the same uniform that I had been wearing for 3-4years that was literally so worn and frail that anyone could of confused it for the rags of a homeless man.
Yet here we are, 6 years of service and absolutely nothing to show for it. even new people are getting paid more than me even if its just a few pennies more.
No respect whatsoever.
I have always been patient and forgiving. When things went wrong i would give you the benefit of the doubt. but this bullshit has gone on for too long and its not as if you care if I leave so thanks for all the fish and fark you very much but this time I have decided that enough is enough and its time for me to go.
