Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to print my 2 week notice?

Email is fine at most modern offices. Print only if your industry expects it (law, finance, healthcare).

Should I tell coworkers before I send the notice?

Tell your manager first, then your team after the manager has been notified.

What if my company has a longer notice requirement?

Check your contract. Some senior or international roles require 4 weeks or more.

Is it okay to give 2 weeks via Slack or email?

Modern offices, yes. Have a verbal conversation with your manager first; the message is documentation.
