Job Resignation

Morning all,

I am about to leave my job to become a full time carer for my 2 (soon to be 3) kids. My wife already does this and claims the relevant benefits so it's just a case of signing me up for carers allowance too.

On to my question! I've only had one job before this one, and handed my written notice to the manager in person (retail shop) and it wasn't very fun. Currently in an office job, my manager is the other end of the room in his own office. Can I just email my resignation? I know it will then prompt a chat but I think I would rather that then instigate it myself and do it verbally.

I've gone over the scenario as many times as I can and asked my wife countless times about the process. Any advice welcome on this and how to survive the month long notice period of them going into chaos. (It's a small team)

  • Good morning, 

    In 2019 had given two weeks notice for me to leave after 11 years of being bullied and miss treated. My notice was handled really badly by begging me to change my mind and didn't want to read my feedback.

    I tried to tell them 4 times and included a letter to the head office. Still weren't interested. Right decision as one of the bullies just got promoted. 11 days later and 4 months later got myself into the stockroom without being challenged and the bullies said we you back on delivery and clock in now. Wanted to stay if better managed.

    I did mine verbal then a letter.

    Best advice is to write a letter as email sometimes get lost. CAB may help you.
