MY COLLEAGUE SENT RESIGNATION LETTER TO HR USING MY EMAIL BUT NO ONE BELIEVED ME- ANGRY MAN SHARES

The day Olaribiwa received the email from HR, his heart dropped. At first, he thought it was some kind of mistake a wrong name, a wrong address, anything but what his eyes were seeing. The subject line alone felt like a punch: Termination of Employment.

He read it twice. Then three times. According to the message, his employment had been terminated effective immediately. No reason given. No warning. No explanation.

Just like that, his world shifted.

Still confused, he checked his inbox again, hoping to find some clue. That was when he saw what looked like an outgoing message a resignation letter he had no memory of writing. A neat, well-structured email stating that he was voluntarily resigning, effective immediately.

But he didn’t write it.

Within minutes, his phone began buzzing. His father called first.

“What happened? Your fiancée posted something on Twitter. They said you resigned,” his father asked, voice heavy with concern.

Olaribiwa’s confusion grew into panic.

He hadn’t resigned. He hadn’t even drafted anything close to a resignation. But there it was his supposed resignation letter circulating online, shared gleefully by someone who should have been the last person to betray him.

A colleague had done it.

Someone he trusted enough to leave alone with his system for a few minutes. Someone who knew his password because they occasionally worked together on joint tasks. Someone who saw an opportunity and took it.

As messages came in from friends, coworkers, and even his father, Olaribiwa tried to defend himself.

“Dad, after everything I’ve done for her,” he typed, frustration burning in his chest.

No one believed him. The resignation looked too real. The tweet about it looked too confident. And the person behind it all the one who posted the screenshot claiming he had resigned was someone he once called his girlfriend.

Her caption was cold. Heartless. Like she enjoyed watching his life crumble.

And then came another blow. A woman online, reacting to the story, posted proudly about seducing her boyfriend’s boss just to get him fired so she could dump him and marry the boss. The internet laughed, mocked, and moved on.

But Olaribiwa wasn’t laughing.

His life had been uprooted. His reputation sabotaged. His job gone.

And the worst part? Everyone assumed he was lying trying to escape consequences of a resignation he supposedly regretted.

He tried contacting HR, tried explaining that someone else had typed and sent that email. But without proof, their response was short and final.

“We have processed your resignation as received.”

Left with nothing but the truth and a shattered trust, Olaribiwa turned to the only place left where he could speak freely: the internet. He shared screenshots, messages, and his frustration hoping someone, somewhere, would believe him.

“This is heartless behavior,” he wrote. “Someone I once called my girlfriend got me fired using my email and posted about it proudly. Just another day to be afraid of that gender. You’ve done your own, but I know God is with me.”

Now, he’s rebuilding. Slowly. Painfully. Trying to find a new job, trying to clear his name, trying to understand how someone he cared for could destroy him so casually.

But this time, he’s wiser.

Because betrayal from a stranger hurts.
But betrayal from someone close enough to know your passwords that’s a different kind of wound entirely.
