She spent four hours crafting the perfect resignation letter: professional, decisive, and final. She detailed the workload imbalance, the toxic culture, and the absolute collapse of her personal life. She proofread it three times, savoring the clean, sharp relief of the decision. She clicked 'Save As' and filed the document in a hidden folder labeled "Emergency Exit." She didn't send it. But knowing that the emergency exit was ready, filed, and perfect, gave her enough immediate power and control to survive one more week. The true function of the resignation wasn't to leave, but to stay on her own terms.
