How to Resign from a Remote Job

Resigning from a remote job follows the same principles as any resignation — but the logistics differ without a physical office.

How to Deliver Your Resignation

Schedule a video call or phone call with your manager first. Then follow up immediately with your written resignation letter by email. Do not resign only by email without any prior conversation.

Returning Equipment

Ask HR about the process for returning company equipment. Most companies will arrange a courier pickup or provide a prepaid shipping label.

Tips for Remote Resignations

• Send your resignation email the same day as your verbal notice
• Document the handover of files, passwords, and system access
• Ask for a LinkedIn recommendation before your last day
