    It’s not unprofessional at all; at worst, it’s discourteous, because notice of departure has zero to do with your professional conduct, it’s a courtesy. You can professionally quit on the spot, look:

    “Due to a change of personal circumstances, I will be resigning immediately, effective at the end of the day. I will work with you to make this transition as smooth as possible within that timeframe, but it is not negotiable.”

      That quote you posted would actually be fine, so you’re right.

      I think discourteous and unprofessional is a difference without distinction here though.

        I can understand going either way on that because they’re semantically similar. However, I personally draw a distinction here because I’d much more readily accept being considered discourteous at work than unprofessional.
