I was always a coward to say to my boss I got an offer and will leave the agency. Nowadays with the WFH situation, do I schedule a zoom meeting? Any advice how would you do it?

PS: I don't want a counter offer, I've already made up my mind.

Schedule a call and say some version of “hey, so I’ve decided to take a new role elsewhere. My last day will be the XXth. I appreciate all the opportunities you’ve given me over the years, is there anything I can do to make this a smooth process for you? I’ll send you this same information in writing after this call. Any questions?”
