You again? So tiresome.

Give her an informal head's up during your 1:1 today and then send the official resignation and 2 weeks notice to HR on Friday.

So OP, how did your 1:1 go? Did you resign?

I did it and survived, lots of heartfelt tears from both sides so feeling better.

That was the right decision! Thank you for the update. Best wishes on your transition out of this and into your new position!

Op here- I am a single mom and I'm worried that if I gave more notice, they would tell me to just finish out two weeks and be done. My new job pays once a month on the 30th so already my next check is going to be Sept 30th and that's a long stretch for me financially without getting paid.

In most states it’s illegal to pay employees only once a month. The usual/legal max is usually once every two weeks. Where are you?!

You giving notice with sufficient time isn’t ruining her vacay. Do what’s right.

Why wouldn't you do C? Unless you are relatively junior, 2 weeks is semi unprofessional in my opinion

Agree. Trying to understand why OP is debating doing it during today's in-person one on one or via EMAIL (?!) tomorrow. You like your boss. You owe it to her to tell her face to face. Don't be a coward.

No. Not “most” states. But some states do have mandates for non-exempt vs exempt employees.

Disagree. It varies with relationship.
