What is the best way to resign remotely? I prefer to email a resignation letter to my manager and HR. Really don’t want to set up a zoom with my manager because she’s the reason I want to leave and the last person I want to see on my way out.

I don’t think it is necessary to schedule a zoom to do it face to face but you should at minimum call her to let her know you will be submitting your resignation via an email letter of resignation. Like her or not, it is the proper thing to do. You always want to be on good terms because it is a small world! Good luck!

Agree. To add to that, you want to speak to her and send the email because you want to maintain a high standard of work ethics and protect your professional brand regardless of the circumstance.

Send an email:

Dear Manager,

It has been said that people don't quit jobs as often as they quit managers. After working for you, I have to agree. I hereby present my resignation effective immediately.

🤣

Always end a job professionally. It might make you feel good for a moment to stick it to them on the way out, but it’s not something you’ll ever be able to take back, and you never know when they might play a role in your future job searches even though it might seem unlikely now.

Write a professional letter and deliver it in person. Don’t let others (e.g., the HR person) dictate how you behave.

Call and remember this person has no power over you anymore. I’d just keep it quick and direct, ‘I’m quitting, my final day will be ______. I’m emailing HR now to get the process stated and can CC you in that if you’d like. Any questions for me?’ If they ask ‘why?’ just say you found a better opportunity and keep it at that. If they’re a jerk to you in the call, remind them they you’re speaking to HR and throw them directly under the bus however you can.

I would cover it one on one with your manager. Regardless of the reason you are giving notice, give it directly to her and follow up with a professional email- per our conversation of today , blah blah blah. And honestly, if she is the reason you are leaving if you can express the concerns / reasons in a professional way-you are gifting her the favor of developing as well. It’s a chance to make it better for others who remain.

I would call, keep it high level and then follow up with the formal resignation.

Always call, it can only benefit you

Did this last month; I agree with all those who say draft email (succinct, professional), then call, then send the email after.

Also, do this on a Friday afternoon, then have a great weekend.

Tell everyone else effected Monday morning.
