S
I was just offered a position with a company doing similar work in an allied industry for a little more money, a lot less time on the road. I've been in my present position (R&D/Quality) for 6+ years after a 6 month layoff.
A definite start date has been giving (verbally so far but by day's end in writing) in roughly 2 weeks. My supervisor is off at a tradeshow this week and his boss (company president) is located at one of our other plants. The company president is the one who hired me. My function within the company has bounced around over the years as I'm fairly autonomous ( someone has to sign my vacation form, lol).
Anyway, I have a decent relationship with to my super and the president but the president is, um, passionate and somewhat unpredictable. If I give 2 wks notice, it can go 1 of 2 ways, stay until the end or get the blank out of here. The new employer understands that and will adjust.
My question is how do you resign? I had a long distance manager once in the past and did not handle the situation very well and burnt the bridge. I don't want to do that again. Call + letter? Letter only? Call only? What do I say? How do I say it?
