The coronavirus pandemic changed workplace norms for many. But when it comes time to resign, do workers have more flexibility in how they deliver the message? Can they now resign via workplace chat apps, text messages or quick emails?
Danielle Abril, 2022, The Washington PostThe coronavirus pandemic changed workplace norms for many - from how people communicate to when, where and how they work. But when it comes time to resign, do workers have more flexibility in how they deliver the message? Can they now resign via workplace chat apps, text messages or quick emails?
"People need to consider long-term impact on relationships," said Brooke Vuckovic, professor of leadership at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. "An awkward conversation is well worth the long-term [effect] of demonstrating respect to your employer." Though you may be quitting via video chat rather than in person, the way you quit should remain relatively the same, Seglin said. That means having a conversation with your boss, followed by submitting a letter of resignation either in person or via email. Seglin advises workers to stay away from messaging apps and texts for official documentation as those messages may be less permanent. You may need a record of your resignation later.
Crane says as work has become more flexible, so have communication styles. Workers should focus on how the recipient will receive the message and whether that will come off the way they intend. Ending your employment is a lot like ending a dating relationship, she said: Ideally, it should be friendly and end on a positive note.
