Broken oil dip stick

[Juzee32]

Just noticed my oil dipstick was broken when I went to check my oil. I just had it changed 2 wks ago. I’m assuming the tip is in the oil pan. Will this harm my car to drive ? I have been driving it for 2 weeks unknowingly. Taking it back to the place that changed in the morning

No, it won't harm anything.
It's not the oil change place's fault. Apparently, they will all break eventually. They plastic gets too brittle. I think that the replacement dip sticks now have different plastic that may last longer.

Do you think the broken tip will come out in the oil pan?

It's floating in the oil pan. You'll have to remove and re-install the oil pan to get it out. It won't get sucked into the oil pump because it couldn't make it through the screen and it's floating above it anyway. The windage tray will keep it from getting to the crank or other engine parts.
