How will you tell your boss that you're resigning??

Resignation letter - We can inform our boss or superior that we're resigning through letter, this is one of the most common thing that we do when resigning.

It is already normal to all company to encounter employees resigning, there are alot of reasons why, as an employee how will you tell you boss that you're resigning? and in what way? verbal or by letter?

If I do not have a good relationship with them I will just send a letter of resignation. I do not need to have a conversation about B.S. to make them feel better. I will most likely never tell an employee that I was looking for a new job - unless the job is so bad that I hope they fire me to collect unemployment.

i guess a resignation letter is much more proper..hence we or i can explain very well why im resigning and my plans for the future and everything..and it will also give me the chance to give thanks for the opportunity that they had given me during my work stint in their company..

Resignation letter is much proper than to tell it vocal. Thats what all working people do if they will resign. Like like me for now i am planning to resign. The reason is i am planning to go bartender training. But its only a plan for now. Have a happy day?

I think verbal will be my choice if I want to resign to tell my boss.That can be more direct.

Well, most places require a letter or something in writing if you ever plan to work for that company again in the future or to get a good reference from that company, as well as a customary 2-week notice. I guess it depends on the situation. If you are moving and must leave sooner than expected, or if there was a serious problem with a co-worker, I suppose something different could be worked out.

It is best to hand in a letter of resignation, so that you will have a paper trail. You do not need to give a reason, just let your employer know what day will be your last day, and express how thankful you are for being the opportunity to work for the company. It is always best to leave a company in a good way, that leaves the door open in case you have to come back.
