I would say that in the end, in person is the way to go, but if you cant do it that way for one resaon or anyother a leeter or phone call is good. The last two jobs I have quit have been in person and I am on good turms with thems till.

Are not in the letter, you should be ok. ;)

Minimum content is the way to go on a resignation letter - kranky's letter is the best example. A resignation letter is a legal notice - anything you say in there can (and might) be used against you in a court of law.

In particular, do not give a &quot;reason for leaving&quot; in a resignation letter, especially if it is a negative one. If there are problems at your old employer later, someone may take that information and attempt to accuse you of employment contract violation or sabotage.

For similar reasons, all &quot;exit interview&quot; information should be shared verbally only; do not sign anything for your employer that appears to have information detrimental to your co-workers or supervisor, since you can be sued for such remarks. (Why do you think most companies give employment referrals verbally or with minimum info, if written?)

I know, I know, I sound paranoid, but (as I've noted in previous postings of this sort) I've been a consultant for a long, long time, and I've been screwed over by more than one company in the past because I didn't pay attention to details like that. Learn from my mistakes, as I did.

Just yesterday I told my bosses that I was going to quit in 2 weeks. This way, (i'm a HS student) I can probably come back to work for them over Christmas. It was a good and fun job so I would like to have it back.

I once knew a guy who worked for one of the biggest companies in the US (top 5 of fortune 500 at the time) and he not only didn't give two weeks, but he sent out an email &quot;termination letter&quot; explaining why he was quitting - and sent it globally (and I do mean GLOBALLY). It went from the CEO down to the lowest man on the chain. I don't think I have the full text anywhere...but I distinctly remember the last line as being &quot;...and you can sniff my anal vapors.&quot; He hit send and walked out the door laughing.

God was that the funniest email I had ever gotten! :D Some people are so care free!
