How do you resign from a job via email.?

Question

I want to send my supervisor an email tomorrow because I found a higher paying job.. Please help. I been at this job for 7 years. pls help me, what would I write in this email?

Answer 1

You don't resign via email...unless you never want to use them as a reference again.  Type out a  resignation letter and present it to your employer as you tell him/her that you need to leave for financial reasons.  Thank him/her for the opportunity and leave in a professional fashion.

Answer 2

Um, you shouldn't do that. You need to tell your supervisor in person that you've found another job. This won't look good on future resumes.

Best of luck!☺

Answer 3

Yeah I would absolutely not do that by email.

That would be a very bad decision.

Just go it, tell them you have been offered a better position that pays more. You have worked there for seven years and you are ready to try something new.

Never burn bridges. If you email your work then you can never get a letter of recomendation, call them for a favor, put them down as a reference.

I am a business major, please please please go in and talk to them. It will be awkward but not as bad as you think. I mean as soon as you say you're not going to work there anymore they have no authority over you.

Answer 4

Yup, you need to do this in writing and in person. Thank them for the years they employed you and tell them you've decided to make a career move. 2 weeks notice is a must. An email quit letter is rude and ungrateful.

Answer 5

Seven years on the same job is not something to blow off by  resigning via email. Doing so shows a lack of responsibility. You should type up a short resignation letter stating that you have found another position that offers you the opportunities for growth and a higher rate of pay.  Also, include the date of the last day you plan to be on your job.  (You should give no less than one week notice - 2 week preferably.)  The letter should be personally handed to your supervisor on your next schedule workday.

Remember, you will need work references from this same company from time to time during the next 10-15 years.  Also, your new job might not work out and you could find yourself needing to go back to the old one so don't burn your bridges behind you.

Answer 6

I wouldn't resign via email, either.  At least give your supervisor a written resignation and two weeks' notice (if they want to give it to you...some places walk you out).  

This is especially true if you're taking up a job with a competitor.  You don't want a rep following you throughout the industry you're in.

Answer 7

Badly.  Turn in a hard copy resignation (keep a copy).  Better yet, turn it in in person, and give them two weeks notice if you can.  These folks have employed you for seven years,  show a little respect.

Answer 8

Tacky............

Two Weeks Resignation In Person

Otherwise You Are Cowardly And Irresponsible......

Remember,

You May Need Them As A Referral In The Future......

Leave With Class.......

Answer 9

Give your boss the respect to tell her/him in person or at least on the phone if you aren't in the same area.  Be mature about it!  Don't ever burn your bridges, it will come back to haunt you!
