In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When submitting your 2 weeks notice, you should write it as an actual typed and printed letter rather than an e-mail. This letter should be handed over to your boss in person.  While writing an e-mail may seem easier and quicker, it is generally considered less professional and will usually be frowned upon. Do not mail your 2 weeks notice through the postal system or through your office mail system. Doing so may cause a delay, and by the time your employer gets your notice, your 2 weeks may already be halfway finished. Per standard rules for writing a formal letter, you should type the date in month-day-year format in the upper left corner of the page. The month should be spelled out, but the day and year should be in numerical format.  Example: June 26, 2013 Note that you do not usually need to include a return address above the date since your address would be the same as your employer's address. You can, however, use company letterhead with the address on it if you choose to. If you are using company letterhead, you may opt to skip the inside recipient's address, as well, since this is a letter sent from within a single company. Including the address is a good idea, however, since it allows you to address the letter specifically to your boss.  Include your employer's personal title and full name on the first line. Write the street address on the following line and the city, state, and zip code on the line after that. Skip a line in between the date and the inside address. Skip another line in between the inside address and the salutation that follows it. The address itself should be single-spaced, though. Your letter should open with “Dear (boss's name).” Never use a vague or general salutation like “To Whom It May Concern.” Address your boss in the same way you usually do, even if that method is fairly casual. For instance, if you are on a first name basis with your boss, write “Dear Jennifer.” If you are only on a professional, last name basis with your boss, stick with “Dear Ms. Smith.” Skip a line after your salutation before you begin writing the body of your letter. Each body paragraph should be single-spaced, but there should be a blank line in between each separate paragraph. None of the paragraphs need to be indented. Keep your letter down to a single page at maximum. In order to maintain a friendly, positive tone, you need to offer a closing that seems a little warmer and more sincere than the usual “Regards,” “Thanks,” or “Sincerely.” A few examples of possible closings include:  Warmest possible regards Best wishes for your continued success Warmest thanks for everything through now With sincerest gratitude and warmest wishes Type your full name 4 lines below your closing and sign your name in between the closing and the typed name.
Summary: Write a letter, not an e-mail. Type the date in the upper left corner. Consider including an inside address. Address your employer directly in the salutation. Write the body of your notice. Use a warm closing. Type and sign your name.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Show respect for your coworker by keeping your lips sealed regarding their condition. If their diagnosis is not common knowledge in your workplace, keep what you know to yourself. You should keep your communications work-related.  Your coworker may not want others to stigmatize or pity them. Respect their privacy and avoid discussing their diagnosis with others in the workplace—unless the other person is already privy to the information. If you do discuss it with someone who is aware, be sure the conversation is constructive, not simply to gossip. If knowledge about their condition is a part of your work duties, you could get in trouble for breaking confidentiality. Even if you are not bound by confidentiality, you should still be wary of discussing your coworker's condition, as doing so could damage your work relationship with the person and your reputation. If, however, your coworker’s condition is impacting your ability to do your job or if you think they may be a danger to themselves or someone else, speaking with a supervisor is appropriate. Mental illnesses are very complex. Never diagnose someone yourself or assume they have bipolar disorder. You should also never accuse someone of being bipolar or mentally ill. Reflect on your co-worker’s typical behavior. What kinds of things do they do that you cannot tolerate? Make a list, then come up with suitable limits for everything on your list.  For example, maybe your coworker calls you late at night about work business. You will need to tell them this is not appropriate. If someone keeps coming to you with personal problems, you may want to establish boundaries there as well. Suggest your company's EAP program as a way for the person to talk through personal issues. Once you open the door for colleagues to process personal issues, it may be difficult to pull back. When sharing your boundaries, be consistent. Rather than making your bipolar coworker feel singled-out, voice your boundaries with everyone. Make no exceptions.  You might say to the larger office personnel, "Someone has been using my office supplies without asking. Please do not go into my desk without permission." If your boundary applies only to the bipolar coworker, there's no need to make a public announcement. Simply speak with the person about the issue privately. You may need to vocalize your boundaries over and over again for them to sink in with a bipolar coworker. Reiterate your limits whenever you need to. You may feel like you're overdoing it, but repetition may be the only way for your coworker to fully respect your boundaries. If, despite verbalizing your boundaries, your coworker continues to cross lines, you must take action. Be sure to tell them what line was crossed and what consequence will be put in place.  You might say directly to your coworker, "If you go in my drawer again without my permission, I will report you." Another consequence might be putting a lock on the drawer. If, during a meeting, your coworker repeatedly interrupts you, you might ask them to leave. The person may get angry about your boundaries initially, but you should hold fast anyway. Being firm and consistent is the only way they will start to respect your limits. Reinforcing boundaries can be done one-on-one in private with your coworker.
Summary: Refrain from casually sharing their diagnosis with others. Decide what you cannot tolerate. Verbalize your  boundaries throughout the workplace. Repeat your limits as necessary. Enforce consequences if boundary violations occur.
