Has anyone given notice over email? I tried calling the partner I work twice with and sent a text asking if they can talk but really need to give notice today so I have atleast a few days between the two jobs. If I wait until they call me back late in the evening, is it appropriate to give HR notice late in the evening? I just cleared background check at 4:15PM so couldn’t really give notice earlier in the day.

I would tell HR today. Try to talk to partner in the AM. If they hear from HR before you, theyll understand why you wanted to talk. But your days of living life on their schedule have ended.

I know a partner who dodged notice. You can only try so hard.

Are you giving two weeks’?

Email seems completely fine then. You tried, and there’s plenty of time to transition
