    Default Told I Had Three Weeks, Only Got One

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Washington

    I have worked for Starbucks for the past four years. We are supposed to be given a performance review every six months, and this policy has been followed in my case up until the last year when I transferred to a new store with a new manager. She gave me my first review, and then gave me the raise for my second review, but never actually had me sign the review form. Two weeks ago she told me that we would be having a meeting on Monday to discuss "Performance stuff," and me possibly getting promoted. Monday rolled around, and she gave me a Three-week corrective action notice, stating that if I did not significantly improve my performance in the next three weeks that further disciplinary action would be taken 'Up to and including termination.' The action items were basically that I needed to push sales goals harder, and tell people the "Why's behind cleaning tasks." -Whatever that means.- I was never forewarned about these things, and had no idea that these were problems. They are also not in my basic job description. I made my best effort to improve on these things, but the next Wednesday she called me in for another meeting, and served me my termination papers. Does this have to do with Starbucks policies? Or is this against WA employment policies even though we are an at-will state?

    At will employment means that your employer can terminate you without notice because she has decided that it's your fault that the sky is not green. If she didn't feel you were making progress on your action plan, she was not obligated to keep you on.
