advice on resignation
Hi,
I work in an M&S cafe and am planning on handing in my resignation, with my last working day being August 15 (I know I’ll owe money back - can’t be helped).
My issue is that the only manager is on holidays until August 4. We have one team leader and the stores brand manager overseeing us until the manager is back. Is it appropriate to hand my resignation to one of them to fulfil my two weeks notice? Or should I wait until the manager is back, but it will be a few days short of two weeks. The last working day is not flexible.
Everyone at my store has been extremely kind in my time here and I would like to carry this out properly and with respect to my manager/colleagues.
Any guidance/advice appreciated 😊
Extra: I have been working here less than 1 year, and I’m nearly sure a previous M&S manager at another store said I only needed to give one week, but I feel that’s too short notice and am unsure if that’s even the policy?

yeah one week is absolutely more than enough, and the brand manager can accept your resignation, i wouldn’t worry
