Hello everyone -
I work for a potty little local family business. It's a very dysfunctional workplace, factional in the extreme, and things between my manager and me are slightly tense, although that's never openly acknowledged. I was wondering if it's ever ok to resign by email? I have a day off today, and it's my manager's day off tomorrow, and I rarely see her in the workplace the (retail environment) in order to pin her down for a meeting. I've been dithering over this for months (if not longer) and I'd like to just fire an email over this afternoon and get it out of the way. I can pop a hard copy in tomorrow if necessary.
For context, I'm the supervisor of a department. The supervisor of another department gave her notice in a few weeks ago by going directly to the owner of the business, as she had similar issues with our manager. (She hasn't been back to work her notice period as she was so desperate to leave). I don't think my manager even sees herself as the manager, we're really left to just get on with everything, which is why the place is a bit feral and none of us know what to do when we actually need someone.
Seeking advice, as I've only ever worked for bonkers little businesses, and I have no idea of proper etiquette when it comes to these things!
Thanks all.

I would also copy in the owner when you email.
