Want to Resign, but Bosses are Out of Office Today
4 answers
I have recently found a new job and I need to start in a month in a half. I need to give 30 days notice to resign, which would be in the next week (I planned it all out so that I have enough time to relocate to a new city, etc.)
My manager, whom is also the CEO of the company, announced today that he is going on leave for the next two weeks.
Is it professional to resign in this period through e-mail?

Surely your manager has appointed a lieutenant to make daily decisions while he is away. That is your point-of-contact, now.

@WesleyLong nope, he didn't. This is a very small company. There is a lack of leadership and structure (one of the reasons I am moving on). So I guess an e-mail would be the best? I also did check he never added his leave to the calendar, so it wasn't common knowledge until yesterday.

You're not responsible for your manager being on leave. Resign politely via e-mail, possibly telling him you regret you have to do this by email and offering a phone call at his conveniance.

If you can't reach your manager, find out who he has asked to handle personnel issues during his absence, and contact them. If he hasn't designated a locum, his bad; contact HR and do it through them.

It's possible that if the CEO is the OP's direct manager, the company might be so small that there is no HR department nor indeed anyone senior to handle the issue in his absence. If this is indeed the case, you're just going to have to interrupt his holiday, call his mobile, and tell him you're resigning. Anyone who is CEO of such a small company will be accustomed to the fact that they can never truly go on leave.
