Resigning Remotely (24 replies)

Long story short - working for a company I hate, got a second interview tomorrow for a job at a competitor. Really liked everything they had to say in the first interview so if all goes well tomorrow and they make me an offer I will 100% accept.

Don’t want to get ahead of myself but it did cross my mind that I’m going have to hand in my notice remotely if I do get the role - i.e. call my manager via Zoom, tell them I’m leaving and then email the formal letter of resignation.

Anyone had to do this during the pandemic? Or got any tips on resigning? Never had to formally resign before as I’ve always done contract work and left when it is up. I have a six week notice period and the thought of it being awkward or difficult in that period is making me nervous.

Thanks in advance
