I would wait until they get back from business trip . If you wanna leave on good terms don’t ruin your bosses travel. Calling your boss while they’re traveling to resign, who does that???

Prepare a very nice email. Call the boss tell her it's urgent. Let her know you want to resign and didn't want her to be caught off guard by the email. As soon as you hang up send tye email to the boss with hr on copy. Do not feel bad. Everyone leaves at some point. Good luck and congratulations on your new job.

I agree that you should wait until they return from the business trip. When are they expected to return? Let your new company know you can start two weeks from that date, though chances are that your current company may accept your resignation 'effective immediately.'

I’m no HR person, but I would send an email to the boss while on travel if it will hinder the start date of your new position. Resigning and giving a two week notice is appropriate and I would hate for that time frame to run into your new position. Remember, it’s always business and never personal. Either way someone will be “butt hurt”, just give the two weeks and move on.

Never forget that your boss will always fire you with no notice. It's nice to be polite, but do so within reason. Make a polite email and get ready for your next employer.

If you want to leave in good terms then yes, probably wait for the return of your manager is ideal. But if the new role is your priority and you have already a plan, since it's a work trip you can try and send an email to your manager asking for a quick video call. Do you have a close relationship with your manager?

They wouldn't wait for you to come back from vacation.. just saying

I would reach out to your boss as a courtesy and submit your notice to HR and copying your boss. HR primarily needs that notice.

If she’s going to be gone for at least a week and your new start date is in the next 2-3 weeks. Two weeks notice is a courtesy. They wouldn’t give you a two weeks notice if they decided to fire you.

People tend to forget that in the USA the work is "at will" and work in both ways. So you are entitled to leave as you wish. If you have a hard date to start your new job, you should be more worried about the first impressions in your new job. Send an email to your boss saying you need to talk to, block a time and after that send an email to HR.

I’d say still send the email to your manager (she could delete the mail app from her phone if she doesn’t want to receive work emails), have a meeting with your skip manager, and let HR or CC HR on the email. It’s still a 2-week notice, regardless of whether or not your manager is at work. You’re allowed to give notice whenever you need. Do what’s best for you. Because the company would do what’s best for them if need be, and I doubt they’d give notice. You’re doing the right thing by giving notice now.

I agree, don't feel bad for putting in your notice even while your boss is traveling. I was laid off when I was out on maternity leave despite my other team members being on furlough. Who does that? Companies. Not to be morbid, but if I died, my role would be backfilled, but my son and husband would not have a mother or a wife. So, I think it's important to grow and look forward. Congratulations on the new gig.

Tell the manager above them in the report structure

Call your manager or video conference her. Then follow it up with a letter of resignation.

After you updated and said she wouldn’t be upset with your resignation, and that you aren’t close…. I say, cold call her ( leave a voicemail if she doesn’t answer) say that you didn’t want your email to catch her off guard. Then send resignation email (with hr cc’d if you have an active hr department). People come and go. You’ve known this person for 6 Months. There’s no relationship there. So no need to wait Her calendar being full doesn’t change that she is still on the clock. If she was on PTO, that would be different. But a paid work trip means she still has responsibilities to you as your leader. You can email and call her to arrange a special touchbase? Or just call randomly. I’m a people manager. I take calls anytime any day. It’s just part of the job, and I’d never be surprised to be contacted on a fully booked day. I wish you luck in your new career! I hope the new company offers you the support and growth you deserve :)

Well, let's see. In a previous role, I was speaking to my Manager up until the Friday before she left for her 3 weeks vacation. Monday morning, I get a meeting request from her boss (including HR). I was given two weeks notice of termination. I think you know what you need to do here. Because you're a professional, you should send her an email saying you need to speak with her. If she doesn't respond in a timely manner, then speak to HR, or her boss (if applicable) When do they want you to start? Congratulations!

HR here--don't wait to let them know. They are traveling for business and are most likely still checking email and calls. And virtually and in person are practically interchangeable these days. All HR people aren't heartless robots that only care about the company, I assure you lol. Good luck in your new role!

Tell you boss now call her or email her. No body is too busy. Put you first and foremost.

I have said this a million times and will say it a million more. You do not owe your boss or company anything. Now if you just want to be courteous because you like your boss, I would send an email explaining that you would normally talk in person but had to put in notice while your boss was unreachable. If they’re a good boss, they’ll understand. If they’re not, then who cares anyway. :)

If you were treated fairly and respectfully,resign when they return from vacation. If they treated you like crap,do them like they would do you if they intended to fire you. They don't give you notice when they fire you and they're definitely not crying.
