Quitting advice (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Background_Tax1308
I’ve worked at starbucks for almost 3 years but I plan to quit and have a bunch of questions lol. First how do stocks work when you quit? I have 6 shares vesting next month so I should wait right? I assume I keep the stocks if they are vested? Also do I need to do anything with my 401k? And lastly if I know when I want my last day to be should I wait for 2 weeks before that and put in my two weeks? Or should I time it so I can say I’ll finish all my scheduled shifts? Like is there a scenario where Im told to just work the two weeks if I give more notice than that? (This is assuming I want to work past the day my stocks vest) sorry for all the questions, I’ve never quit a job lol

If you can hold out the extra month, do it. When the stocks vest, they are yours to keep or sell.
The 401k should be vested and is yours. You can log into fidelity and see what it’s doing and even adjust your investments with that money if you’d like. (Or leave it alone, that’s cool too)
As to the two weeks, I’d not give any more notice than that. When you know your last day, figure out two weeks ahead of that, and give the SM your letter. Nothing fancy or elaborate, just respectful and straightforward.
Technically, the schedule should be posted three weeks out, but it never is. It’s your SMs responsibility to cover any shifts past your exit date, not yours. Don’t let anyone pressure you otherwise.
Hope this helps!

you’re replaceable and manager tend to start cutting hours or not honoring availability when they know you’re out the door
