This question already has an answer here:



  • What do I say when resigning after just a month?

    9 answers



  • Is it best to tell your boss that you are quitting via email or in person?

    4 answers



I would like to quit a job I recently took up for another better offer that has come along. It has been just a week since I joined this firm, but I have no legal/contractual bonding with them.



I now look forward to politely informing them that I will be resigning through a formal email.



How can I let them know that I will be quitting without appearing mean / unethical?

    Nver quit by mail unless you are a remote worker. That is unporfessional and you are being pretty unprofessional by quitting after a week. You need to do this person. If they get mad at you, well frankly you deserve it.

Do not quit with an email. It will give a bad impression, and in fact in the long run it might be one if not the only thing that your boss remembers about you.
Don't forget it's a small world out there, and I don't think you would want your reputation to go lower just because you were too lazy to tell him face to face.



PS: a word of mouth stating you are working for him can very well be a legal contract, even if you didn't sign anything.

    Excellent answer! NEVER quit by email and in your situation, simply be honest. Explain why the other offer is better but make sure it does not come across as a bargaining tool. Thank them for their time and the opportunity too.
