Best time to hand in your resignation

[Hettonlass]

Work a 9-5 so I reckon 4pm will do

Aye

 

[Darlo1973]

Morning, then you get to sit back all smug all day while they panic.

Alternatively they are celebrating that you are finally going.

Last time I resigned they said to leave immediately so I got a month’s gardening pay.

Be prepared not to be let back in the building after you submit!

 

[JL1985]

As soon as you get given a shit task to do.

4pm on a Friday.
Judge the initial reaction. Weekend allows you to dwell on what you’ve done and allows the Company / manager time to decide if he wants to persuade you to change your mind.

 

[Bob Fleming]

I've always done it early morning. Though that has been me telling the gaffer I'm leaving. Then I would be following it up with the formal notification later by the end of the day.

I'd be more than happy with that. Happily gi to the office and hand back the equipment

 

[Black_Cat]

Best time would be when you've won the Lottery, and includes lot's of gloating!

She is a bugger 80% of the time.. it's the tone as much as anything

As long as you definitely have a new job to go to, I don’t think there’s a good or bad time to hand it in.

I’d personally do it mid morning.

 

[Boris Bear]

Is it contract @Epping ?

if so it must be bad crack to not fulfil it

 

[Nukehasslefan]

The best time to resign is when your wages go into the bank.

When that happens the best thing to do it just book a last minute holiday. It's great being away and not have to worry about going back to work immediately.

 

[Boris Bear]

The answer is right after your current employers last match

 

[Chap78]

Straight after you’ve cracked the manager.

 

[Frijj]

In contrast, I'm currently working a 2 month notice, which seems a bit excessive to me!

8 weeks for me. 12 not uncommon here either.

 

[Charmless Man]

Right after you’ve pinched all the office stationary and had a shit in your manager’s filing cabinet.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Handed my notice seven weeks into a new job once. Told me that notice wasn't required as I was still on probation and had me clear my locker, had PAC taken off me and escorted out the door in under 5 minutes.

Unexpectedly left me with a a couple of weeks to kill before my new job so booked a flight to Sweden and spent a long weekend getting pissed in a fellow SMBer's newly opened bar.

 

[PeteFTM]

I’d just do it and get it done

I’m leaning towards this.

Last time I waited until last thing and the day was horrible, knowing I was handing it in but having to pretend everything was normal.

If I were to do it again I think I’d go for first thing in the morning, preferably before starting for the day.
