So how does one resign these days?

[winkywinkola]

Do you send a letter as an email attachment?

Call a meeting, tell them and pass over your official letter then?

I'm part time, fundraiser, no great shakes.

My organisation has a generic resignation form - you can give reasons etc, if you want to.

A very short, clear, factual letter on paper to your boss, copied to HR if it exists.

Proper letter, on paper, addressed to your line manager.
No need to give a reason unless you want to.

Dear Manager,

I wish to tender my resignation from your company.

My last day will be Friday 10th June,

Yours sincerely

Employee

typed on paper and handed over.

Well they're very friendly and I think they would be hurt by that. Plus we all work closely in an open plan office. I just leave the letter on their desks? I have two line managers.

Ask for a meeting then and state it factually with written confirmation for their records

Do not resign by email
Its cowardly
Do it face to face and hand them a letter confirming it

Yes. It is cowardly. I will do it on Monday. Face to face.

I know it's the right thing to do when I just feel immense relief.

Only been there 7 months.

I work in HR and we would accept any written resignation, that includes email and, at a push, text ... but a verbal resignation is not accepted. If someone resigns 'in the heat of the moment' and changes their mind the next day we would usually view the resignation as invalid even if it's been in writing.

As for how you can resign - any of the above. As for how you should resign from a 'manners' point of view, that depends on the relationship you have with your employer and whether or not you care but I'd have thought asking to have a quiet word, telling them you are resigning and giving a letter would be the best way. You don't have to give an explanation but many people do.

Well they're very friendly and I think they would be hurt by that.
Don't be emotional about it. If they were going to sack you they wouldn't be emotional.

Winky I think I read some of your other threads about this. What are you off to find?

Find =do! Stupid autocorrect

I just did it. Explained my decision face to face first, followed by an email with attachment thanking org for experience in role

I typed out the letter. Had a meeting. Explained that I was resigning and handed over the letter.

One month's notice. My line managers are upset because they say they need me but I guess they can recruit someone else.
