sorry, but calling to say you quit is the opposite of professional. written notice, in person. with at least 2 week notice.

If only people took the brain-power to read the follow up they'd all stop making the same comment which has already been explained...

Had the same thought. I think of it as a breakup lol. If it's inappropriate to break up with a significant other over the phone, it should be the same with an employer.

This is generally best done in person if you respect your employer.

Phone call? Your boss was probably angry that you didn't have the courage to do it in person. A phone is highly unprofessional. A signed letter of resignation, delivered in person is the correct way to do it. Having been in management, including district management for many years, I can tell you that most bosses should feel the same way. Most often, an employee who quits via phone call generally receives a negative job reference when future perspective employers call to verify job history.

Good job trying to be professional and polite. It seems like your old manager could learn a thing about professionalism

Professional doesn't mean quitting over the phone. Always quit in person.

Always give 2 weeks notice. And do it in person.

YDI for not having enough respect to do it face to face.
