Have you had trouble resigning with a handwritten letter?

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

We recently heard from a man who received a delayed remaining annual leave entitlement upon his resignation because his manager wouldn't accept a handwritten resignation letter.

Hi neighbours,

We recently heard from a man who received a delayed remaining annual leave entitlement upon his resignation because his manager wouldn't accept a handwritten resignation letter.

If this has happened to you, we'd like to hear from you! What did your letter say? Was it professionally written but still rejected?

What was your manager's reason for rejecting it? What did you do about it?

Let us know in the comments or email caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Witheford Scenic Reserve, Bayview

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

I've logged this track for a tidy-up as it is very overgrown. It runs through bush between Manuka Road and Noeleen Street, and it technically part of Witheford Scenic Reserve, although doesn't join up with the rest of the park.
Not aware of this track? Not surprising, as the Manuka Rd … View more
I've logged this track for a tidy-up as it is very overgrown. It runs through bush between Manuka Road and Noeleen Street, and it technically part of Witheford Scenic Reserve, although doesn't join up with the rest of the park.
Not aware of this track? Not surprising, as the Manuka Rd entrance is at the bottom of a private, shared driveway, and neither end has signage of any kind...
Thanks to Jessica for raising this problem with me :)

Previously the programme has worked with businesses on Enterprise St, Birkenhead, and the Bay Park Pl/Kahika Rd industrial area in Beach Haven.
This past year, the programme has moved to Wairau Valley businesses where it is gaining a positive response and helping to clean up the waterways that lead to Milford Beach. We will soon be discussing extending this programme into the next financial year. #CleanStreams

There are now new entrance signs, upgraded track, boardwalk and steps to explore...and a fairy door to find :)
