[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize you’ll need to connect with your boss during the last two weeks to transition your work, right? You can’t avoid that. Most bosses would schedule multiple calls to cover that.

If you are valued at all, most bosses will ask you (not in writing, but by zoom) where you are going and if there’s anything that would prompt you to reconsider (again, noting they’ll only ask if you are truly valued…). If you are essentially ignored over the next two weeks, your takeaway should be they are not upset that you are leaving. [/quote]

Not sure if you meant to come across harshly, but please consider that you cannot say with authority what "most" bosses do, and your implication is that if the OP's boss does not bring up reconsideration that she is somehow not valued. I've worked for several bosses who were staunchly committed to never asking a departing employee to reconsider, no matter how valued. In their minds, once an employee says they are leaving, the best thing to do is to make arrangements for their departure and leave it at that. At one point, a HIGHLY valued team member submitted their resignation, but likely would have stayed if asked. The team begged the boss to inquire about reconsideration, but he repeatedly refused, even though it left a big hole that took two years and multiple false starts to fill.

OP, if there's no potential harm to you reference-wise, an email re: resignation is fine. You can also lay out your plan for wrapping up your work so the focus can be on that before you move on. [/quote]
