1) Go to your new job first and double confirm that they really meant to hire you. Triple confirm the next day.

2) draft a scathing email outlining how you really feel about the firm

3) delete that email, draft one thanking the firm “so much” for the opportunity, bcc everyone and cc your personal Gmail and send.

we got ourselves a regular joker here.

We’ve talked about this so many times on the EY bowl 🙄 If you’re going to resign, the obvious point of contact is Kelly Grier, followed by your Service Line Chair and then Regional Chair.

Also, someone did the equivalent of this many years ago, and it was epic.

I sent HR my resignation email then told my engagement leaders that I had just put in my two weeks and thanked them. Then, I told my coach and colleagues.

1) Immediate manager(s) on teams you work on. Partners on these jobs if you’ve been around long enough that they’ll care.
2) PML/coach/relationship leader/counselor
3) HR

I would personally tell your CA first, then OMP, and then send an official email to HR cc: your OMP

like

My OMP is over more than 1200 people in 5+ practices. Resignations at anything below the partner level are very much below his pay grade.

If you’re in a smaller office, I might get it, but I’d be willing to bet most OMPs have at least 100 employees in their offices. Handling staff resignations isn’t their job.

Just did this last week: call PML, fill out HR form online, call manager/partner on your engagement teams

I would talk to the partner you work for the most first if you have a relationship with them, and PML. Then, if you’re serious about quitting, managers you work with and OMP (if you know them). Then HR
