I have an offer of a new job. Sounds interesting, it’s a pay rise and promotion. I spoke to my current boss (She’s in the US) last week on Thursday my pm to say I have a job offer and was thinking of resigning. She wanted more information on why and what I thought we ought to change in the department (I’m quite senior). I discussed it with her on Friday and she wanted time to propose a new role for me. She said she’d get back to me Monday hopefully or end of Tuesday at the latest. I haven’t heard anything since and she’s on Thanksgiving vacation apparently (although would likely still be working in parts).
Assuming I hear nothing before tomorrow morning would I be unreasonable to just send her and HR my resignation letter. I don’t really want to stay and if she can’t meet her own timeline to make a counter offer then I don’t think I should keep waiting. I don’t want to leave on a sour note but I can’t wait forever!
YABU you should remind her / give her another day as it’s her vacation week
YANBU you have given them time to counter offer, if they haven’t done so by now you should just formally resign
