Help! How does one put in their two weeks over a zoom call? I’ve been an integral part of my team and company, and know this will come as a shock to my boss, but it’s time for me to move on.

Any tips?

Send an email first thing in the morning with your intent to resign. Thank them for the opportunity to learn in the org, provide your reason for leaving (to pursue other opportunities), then put the ball in their court by ending with something like, “let me know how I can best assist with transitioning my responsibilities.”

And assuming you’re in the US, do give a two week notice. No call is needed.

Okay so I would do the opposite...I would do the Zoom call first to tell them, and then formalize it with an email. Interesting that people are suggesting the other way around...second guessing the way I do it haha!

If I were in office, I’d totally suggest walking into your managers office to have the conversation ahead of sending an email. Given that most are hybrid or WFH now, an email first is more common, unless you already have a standing 1:1 meeting on the calendar where you feel comfortable bringing it up at the end.

Send her an email clearly stating your end date. If she wants a Zoom call, let her initiate it.

Send an email with your end date & then see how your boss responds. If you try to discuss it over Zoom, they might try to convince you to stay or prolong the process. If you know it's time to move on, you want to make sure you handle it in a way that won't make it harder on you.

Set up a one on one of possible in person and if not then through zoom with your manager to deliver the news then send an email to the team. At least that's how I would approach it that way it's a bit more personal.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
