I am about to submit my resignation letter next week (that will be a two weeks notice). The problem is my supervisor is off on Monday. So, it will be a day short of two weeks notice when I give him the notice on Tuesday. The company is small and has no employee handbook so far, and it is my understanding, the two weeks notice is a common professional courtesy for resignation.
I don't want to burn any bridges when I leave, so I am wondering whether that one day will matter.
Another option will be to give the resignation letter to HR or the big boss on Monday and ask him to keep it private until I tell my supervisor in person the next day. But, since it is a small company and close-knitted, I do not think it will be a good idea (make my supervisor not the first one to know).
Any opinion?
