Have you ever emailed your resignation??

My boss works remotely most of the time. It's rare to see him in the office.

How poor would it be to send him my resignation via email?

I dont like my job there or him much either and don't forsee I will use this company/job as a reference.

Yes, right after I won the lottery.

Then do it.

I have, when I nannied for a horrible family. Sent it late Friday night. They told me not to worry about doing my 2 weeks, and I had been paid that day, so it was an easy break.

Due to your boss' distance, I don't think it's wrong. You may want to do it over the phone though and immediately follow with the email.

I would pick up the phone and talk to him that way. I don't think you should do it by email.

I resigned over the phone. It was fine.

[Anonymous]

Just call them.

[Anonymous]

I did it because it was required to be in writing.

[Anonymous]

Yes I did and I knew I wouldn't use them as a reference.

Yes, and it's the best way to go. CC your boss, head of HR and CEO if it makes sense.

It's fine.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but this was in the bay area at a tech company. Anything else would have seemed strange.

[Anonymous]

No, but I fired someone via email once so there was a record and time stamp.

Ugh, I think that is so tacky, unless the boss has mistreated you and you have a bad relationship for that reason. Just email and say you would like to set up a time to talk on the phone. Then tell him, and offer to follow up by email if he needs it in writing.

Guess it depends on the type of job. Know some people who just never came back after they were paid.
