Should I write a e-mail to my manager/supervisor?

or should I request like a meeting and do it face to face?

I plan on giving my two weeks notice, just seeing what would be the best way.

It depends on what your job is and if you ever plan on going back.

I've seen so many people give that two week notice and get sabotaged, some employers/employees are petty like that. All kinds of things can go wrong in those two weeks.

I say show up with your letter of resignation(stating your resignation is immediately effective) shake your supervisors hand, and leave.

It depends on your dynamic with your boss and the relationship with the company.

If there's a long employment history/friendship outside of work, and/or you'd like to use your supervisor for a future reference, give the two week notice in person via meeting and have a discussion about it. (During your last two weeks, work harder than you ever have. Show integrity.)

If it's a short term thing, and/or you may or may not rely on them for future references, an email + two week notice will suffice.

Just go to your manager and let them know. I got laid off grimy so I learned from them cacs put your own interests first.

Call a short informal meeting with your supervisor and let them know that a recent opportunity was presented to further your career. They'll congratulate you, work out the technicals of your transition strategy, etc. It's always best to leave any experience on the best note possible because you never know who you will cross paths with or need down the road, especially if your current job pertains to your actual career.

Congrats on the new gig though!
