    Giving notice over the phone?

    My boss has been super nice to me over the past year he has been put as my manager. Even when he was the same level as me we got along great. I'd consider him my friend. I have to tell him tomorrow morning I am leaving the company in mid March. He's gonna be super let down. Should I just say, "Hey tom. I got another job offer I am going to take and I will be leaving mid march."? I have never given a notice before where I can't walk into an office and hand someone a resignation letter.
    Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|

          I don't think you have to give two weeks notice at Cinnabon. Just stride in and say, hey, I don't want to frost your buns anymore.

            Depends on your company policy.
            When push comes to shove, business IS business.
            Some company require two weeks notice, some will let you go the same minute you give them a notice.
            So, if you are not worry of losing your current job immediately, you have nothing to lose.

            Good luck.

              No one should hold it against you for bettering your self and you position. If you can tell him in person. If not a phone call will have to do.

              If hes really your friend he will be happy for you that you are moving up

                  The policy is two to four weeks notice because of the type of job it is we are scheduled out so far. I think he'll be happy now that Im toasty and thinking about it.

                    Well, don't just plop it down like that. Have a conversation that just lays out what's going on with your career. Give them a chance to keep you. This is concession time. He might get you a better offer to stay. It's like breaking up, don't just break up. I talk about it and maybe she wants to change some stuff.

                        I would give him a call tell him that you have been offered a new job which you will be taking in how ever many weeks. And also say that you will follow it up with a resignation letter/email. Don't beat around the bush with this stuff just lay it out strait. Most people appreciate the honesty.

                          In that case be forward and honest. So what will you be doing at this other company?

                              So I told my boss and he told me once he gives his boss my notice, they will probably counter offer with a 30% pay increase (vs the 20% at the new place) and regional territory. I hope he is right. I look forward to my new job but I hate change and I am so comfortable with the equipment I work on now.

                              As it is I am 15 - 18% underpaid.
