Should I Email My Colleagues About My Resignation and Last Working Day? Seeking Advice

Gentleman, I have submitted my resignation to the director, and he has also accepted it. Except for HR and the Director, no one knows that I have submitted the resignation, and I am in the notice period. Is it okay to share an email with all my colleagues about my resignation and the last date of my employment in the organization? Please advise.

Hi, It is suggested that you follow the resignation/separation process that is currently in place in your organization. In general, no employer likes when a resigned employee spreads news about their resignation among all employees.

Therefore, discuss with your HR or immediate superior before you send the email. Also, consider why you intend to communicate about your resignation through email. It might be more prudent to communicate with your team members alone on your last working day.

Thank you.

Last day, if they come to know, it will be a surprise for them. Most people approach me as if I am going to continue in this organization. It is going to be an embarrassing situation if they find out on the last day.
