New job

Personally I wouldn't say anything. But if you want to tell them anyway, I think an FYI email would be acceptable.

Why do you want to tell them if it's not going to affect your current work in any way? It doesn't sound like you have a close relationship with them ... ?

jacL · Coach

Actually, LMonet, the reason I want to tell them is because I do have a fairly close relationship with them. I work in a lab that is open 24 hours, so there are three different supervisors who work directly next to us and then the "big boss," the lab manager. I don't want any of them to feel slighted, personally or professionally, when they hear it from someone else. And, they will probably see me at my other job anyway...I will be working at the Starbucks located in the hospital we work at.

I would casually mention it in conversation. I think an email or sit down meeting would be too formal.

Elle · Hermes

I agree with beachgirl then, casually mention it in a conversation when you have the opportunity. Kind of a 'Oh! Did I tell you I got a side job at Starbucks? You'll have to come in when I'm working sometime!'

Unless of course you guys don't associate with each other casually, and then I would still send an email. But I would word it informally, and keep it light with the 'you should come in sometime when I'm working'.
