I am planning to resign from my current position-but work for a group at a small company. 6 owners plus a corporate partner-I will need to give my formal resignation to my boss but I am torn on how to notify the owners as well. I think email is easiest but also impersonal- if I call each of them separately I’m certain by the time I get to the 6th owner they’ll already know. Is it too impersonal to email a group that you’ve worked with for over 5 years? I’m leaving a leadership role and they have a fair amount of contact with me on the daily.

thanks

I would have a phone call with each and ask to please keep it to themselves and allow you to be the one that breaks the news.

I would email them with the message of resignation but also that you will be calling them individually to discuss your transition. It's professional and highly individual

Why not schedule either a face to face or a Zoom/Team meeting. You have access to their outlook calendar to see their ability right? So see if your admin can set up an urgent meeting. Get them all in the same room and get it all out in one go. That would be the best way.
