It's easy enough to quit in the first couple of weeks, you'd never need to mention it in a CV, and as long as you do it professionally, it'll be unlikely to ever come back to haunt you. I'd say this by the fact you're asking this question here.

My gut feel is that you don't want to just jack this in. In a place like Starbucks, there's a good chance the manager worked their way up, rather than being recruited in, so they may be a font of good tricks for the job. Having said that, what have you done to pick up the job, have you just relied on what they've given you training wise, or have you tried approaching the same manager for mentoring? You'd be surprised how asking someone for their advice can change their attitude.

This is wrong, and it can be difficult in any service industry with peaks and lulls, however it could be that the manager has been watching too much Gordon Ramsey and thinking this is how to drive you on (not realising it's Ramsey's passion that drives his frustrations, it's not just shouting).

The manager made me cry yesterday after yelling at me when I messed up an order No matter what job I've worked in (from burger chains to senior management) have I ever gone into a new role thinking 'I am an expert at this', even if you have experience you still need to learn about how the job works, and that takes time, so 1 week is nothing. I'm going to take a different tack (as is my thing) as no doubt most people answering are in the 'you've only been there for a week, just leave' mindset. Even better, they may fire you on the spot. If anything, being calm, collected, professional, and refusing to react to their idiocy will anger them more - which is always fun to watch. Ignore it, don't be tempted to give in to their verbal assault. They will likely curse at you when you resign, and treat you worse than they already have. The manager has created a caustic environment, you should not be treated this way and you deserve a lot better. If you feel the need to explain the job and why you left, a simple, 'While I'm reluctant to badmouth former employers, let's just say that management had difficulty paying employees for all hours worked.'ĭon't feel bad about leaving them. A week gap can be ignored easily - and if you worry about it, just use month/year in the resume, and don't put exact dates for work periods. Professional, yes, but nice, no.ĭon't worry about adding them to your resume, or using them as a reference. Don't hand it in before your shift and try to work that shift - I'd do that for a company I cared about, but this isn't a situation where you should be nice. Please do not resign at the start of your shift - give them at least enough notice so they can get someone else in to replace you if you can't work your last shift.

Since it's only been a week you can be nice and give them a few days notice, but honestly I'd use today's date, hand it in at the end of your shift, and leave. The paper is important as it sets the date in a way that they can't forget or deceptively claim you didn't give them notice. You don't need to provide an explanation, but if they ask simply say, 'I discovered that the position doesn't align with my current goals.' Don't attempt an explanation in the letter. This serves notice that I'm resigning my position as with. It doesn't need to be anything fancy or official, but it needs to clearly state your last day of work: Type or write up a letter of resignation. Unless you 1) believe the manager will actually be interesting in changing their management style or 2) are willing to fight to be paid those unpaid hours then there is no reason to bring those bad aspects of the job up. Leaving a bad job after only a week will not leave a bad mark on your employment history no matter how you leave.
