As the title says really.

I've accepted a role at a different organisation, however I work remotely and don't see my line manager, or anyone else in my department from one month to the next, working at opposite ends of the country.

It's impractical at best to head down to head office to hand my notice in person, and feel that it is unprofessional/too informal to do this by email.

What would the PH collective do?

Send a letter?

(although I'd probably use it as an excuse for a roadtrip, and hand it in personally).
I think my plan is send a letter but give a heads up that it will be arriving.

It's not the most enjoyable roadtrip as it's Manchester to Slough, though possible I'd feel a bit bad about doing the 400 odd miles on company coin... Especially as they insist on putting me up in a hotel when I go down there.

Snapchat is not a better idea rofl
You mean sending a 'dick pic' isn't a valid form of resignation?

Dammit.

Though.... it would certainly get the job done.


ETA: A better idea of what to do rather than a better idea like sending a snapchat or a vine or even a grinder invite.
