Thanks for making the time, Jess. I wanted to tell you in person that I've decided to resign from my role. I'd like my last day to be Friday 18 July, and I'm committed to a smooth handover.
Thanks for seeing me, Jess. I need to let you know I'm resigning, and I can only give limited notice — my last day would be Friday 4 July. I'm sorry for the short timeframe and will help where I can.
Frequently asked questions
How do I tell my boss I'm resigning?
Ask for a short private meeting, be direct and calm, say you've decided to resign and when your last day would be, and offer to help with the handover. Keep it brief and professional — you don't need to over-explain.
Should I resign in person or in writing?
Many people tell their manager in person (or on a call) first, then follow up with a written resignation for the record. This tool helps with the conversation; use our Resignation Letter Generator for the written version.
Do I have to give a reason?
No. You can keep your reason brief or private. The script focuses on letting your manager know clearly and professionally.
How much notice should I give?
That depends on your situation, so this tool doesn't state a number. Check your employment contract, award or agreement if you are unsure about your required notice period.
