The Bailer’s Creed

This is my resignation. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My resignation is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My resignation, without my resolve, is useless. Without my resignation, I am useless. I must fire my resignation true. I must hold to my resolve more than my employer, who is trying to bury me. I must quit him before he buries me. I will…

My resignation and I know that what counts in this life is not the hours we put in, nor the appearance of busyness, nor the bluster we make. We know that it is the joy that counts. We will find joy…

My resignation is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will regard it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its paragraphs, its core values, its date and its signature.

I will keep my resignation prepped and ready, even as I am prepped and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…

Before all, I swear this creed. My resignation and I are the defenders of all workers. We are the masters of our employers. We are the saviours of my life.

So be it, until victory is the people’s and there is no enemy, but joy in work and life!
