[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Universally disliked boss is 2,000 miles away. Just the thought of being on a Zoom call and giving two weeks notice is enough to bring major anxiety. I just want to get out of a toxic, mind game environment and never think of the place again (two year tenure). Do I just send an email resigning and if he calls, he calls? I can already get references from the boss who hired me there. [/quote]

Oh come on. Grow up. It’s one bad call. You can deal with it. Tell him you have something urgent to discuss, do it over zoom, and then follow up with an email to him and HR.

Of course it’s anxiety producing and unpleasant, but that’s life sometimes! [/quote]

This.

Email: Good morning. Please let me know when you have 15-20 mins today to connect. My schedule is flexible and I’m available to meet at your convenience.

Phone call/Teams or Zoom: Thank you for finding time to connect. I wanted to tell you that I’ve accepted a new job and my last day will be X. The opportunity was too good to pass up and this all happened very quickly, but I wanted to give you notice immediately. Of course I’ll do my part to tie up loose ends and provide a warm handoff to you and the team. I will send an email to you and HR immediately after our call ends. And I want to thank you for your leadership over the years; it’s been a pleasure working for you and the company.

That’s all it really takes. I’ve scripted it for you. [/quote]
