No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Maria, I think it just depends on your relationship with your boss. Either way, you should have a formal letter of resignation that you hand over at that time.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

HR will not hold back the info from your boss. Or at least I would be shocked if they did.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

HR manager and I are friends, who knows I've been looking. We go out for sangria. Boss and me? Eh. Cordial, but I find him a little slimy and unwilling to stick up for his employees.

Big!Boss? What-the-fuck-ever.

Oh, in that case it might be different.

Then offer your letter to the HR person today, formal notice to boss on Monday. Get the righteous fuck outta there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've always told my boss first and then made it formal. I think you could tell your HR buddy without it being Official Notice, but what do I know.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Maria, is HR manager enough of a friend that you could ask to keep it quiet until you tell your boss Monday morning?

You really don't want your boss to hear it from anyone who isn't you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Maria,

my sector of employment is different from yours, but in my two resignations, I have always told my immediate boss first. Then other relevant colleagues. Then HR.

I scrambled out of bed this morning in a panic, thinking, "JESUS CHRIST WHAT DAY IS IT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE AIRPORT?!" I have the feeling this is going to be happening to me a lot over the next three months.
