"In an age when nearly everything can be done from the convenience of your smartphone, we thought job resignation was an area that needed some attention."

CAN be done, but sometimes SHOULD NOT be done. This is a prime example of something that really shouldn't be done over a text.

Am I to infer the young kids nowadays like to burn their collective employment bridges more often than simply putting in their two week notice? The best advice I ever got from my Dad was never, ever, ever, ever, burn a bridge with an employer, you never know when you might need that job, co-worker, manager to help you out down the road.
