Is it ever ok?

Basically my manager is going to be out for the next few days so I won't be able to do it face to face, and he's just sent us all an email explaining that things are going to be "shaken up" in the restaurant I work in, and make a good opener for dropping the hint that I have to quit work soon.

I'm taking up an unpaid internship for the remainder of the summer before starting my masters in September, and I technically need to be "unemployed" for the purposes of applying for a career development loan,

I do feel like it should be something that's done face to face, but given the circumstances is it ok to resign via email?

email him & leave a letter on his desk

As long as it's in writing, a letter or email, it's fine

Just check it is better for you to resign than to be let go. If you are likely to get a good reference, or can negotiate a good reference, or if there is any chance of redundancy pay (unlikely, but possible) then it is best for you to be let go in a 'restructuring'. Only resign if you are going to be fired for misconduct/poor work etc ie without a reference

Well email is sent. Shall see how it goes. I do feel a little bad, but can't be helped!
