Can I give a three weeks notice? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by akirakaranamori
Planning on quitting after 8 months due to school commitments but not sure how to go about it. I'm only planning to work for 3 weeks more so i was wondering if I could give a three weeks notice. If so, how do I go about? Do I just give a letter to my manager the next time I see her?

Three is generous. You’re a better person than I.

You dont have to give any notice technically! You can just never show up again hahaa but if you wanted to go back to Starbucks, they might not hire you back. If you give the notice, you can either tell them in person or leave a note on the managers desk addressed to them.

Does it have to be verbal or can I just pass a letter to my manager.

Always written or printed. Not verbal, and not digital. Your manager needs to file your written notice in their records, and they can’t do that if it was only spoken. Also, it helps to provide a solid paper trail so that you don’t run into the issue of them accidentally scheduling you for after your time is up and then marking you as a no-call no-show. Managers can get very busy and scatter brained and things can get mixed up very easily so it’s better to have something like that written down on a physical piece of paper. And keep a copy of it for yourself too.

so is a 3 week notice valid

Yes - ultimately any length of notice is valid, two weeks minimum is preferred. With the way Starbucks schedules, 3weeks is a great notice because you’ll essentially finish out your currently scheduled shifts and the SM doesn’t have to make any changes to the posted schedules, and also has a bit of extra time to hire in your place

This is true. It's an imbalance between the employer and employee that the employee is expected to give notice to the employer but the employer can basically just cut employees loose without regard for the employee's financial obligations or...well...anything.

As long as you give a written notice to your manager stating your expected last day, it should be fine. Email, letter, note, all of those are fine!

you can give a three week notice, basically just write/print a letter stating your last day. give it to your manager and let them know what’s going on or just leave it on their desk

Be careful though if you wanted to keep getting hours if you tell them too soon, they'll just drop you.

You technically don’t need to give notice really. 2 weeks is “professional” and if you plan on keeping good blood between you and your soon to be old employer on basis of good recommendation etc. 3 weeks is incredibly generous, and your manager will appreciate that. Just let them know you’re giving them a 3 week notice and that you don’t plan on working past X date.

You can give any amount notice you want. Depending on how things are in your area though don’t be surprised if they don’t need your notice and tell you you can just go ahead and go
