Is at target. they are paying me 8.50 an hour..the store just open (Harlem NYC lol)
but I might get hired at a chocolate store..pays 12 an hour....the target store is about to open so they are counting on me. I want to give them a two week notice, but the chocolate place might not wait for me..of course, I have not gotten the definite yes from the chocolataire...but in case...how do I quit? what excuse? I was thinking of telling then that I accepted to attend another college out of state and I need to start leaving.
I am afraid if anything I might lose both.

There's not much you can do to leave Target on good terms. if you leave them 2 or less weeks after you were supposed to start working they aren't going to give you a reference anyway. |

Most states are labeled 'at-will' states...which means an employer can let you go without even having a reason - plus - it also means you can do the same....leave an employer without a reaosn. |

It really would not matter what your excuse would be, as they would not care. You MUST give a two weeks notice. Here's how it can play out: you give your two weeks notice letter, and then you get hired for the chocolate place for sure and start right away. OR: you give your two weeks notice and then they don't hire you at the chocolate place at the end of the two weeks notice. |
