need some advice, i’m feeling unwelcome in my own store, please no “i told you so’s” (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by chelscrew
recently i moved into a house with 3 of my coworkers. it was a choice we made out of convenience, because 2 of us were moving out of dorms, one of us had a lease ending, etc etc so it really just worked out that way. i knew we’d probably eventually run into drama because we’re all girls in our 20’s and that just happens.

anyways there’s been some recent home drama that one of my roommates has let bleed into the workplace. the entire thing is too stupid to explain, but it’s created friction and another of our roommates supports her in this and it feels like there’s no talking to either of them. they both give me the cold shoulder and i feel unwelcome not only in my own house but also st work. they gossip about me when i’m not there and whisper when i AM, and they’re getting other partners involved and starting rumors that now make me paranoid to come into work. it’s so frustrating.

i want to transfer at this point. how should i go about bringing this up to my manager? i’m a shift, i know he isn’t going to want to ship me off to a new store, but i just feel so frickin uncomfortable and i’m sick of it.

I would definitely just embrace what is happening and talk to your troublesome roommates straight up about the drama

Talking to your manager will be a brief pain compared to living and working with girls treating you like shit.

I’ve definitely been in that position before and going into work can feel like such a drag and gives you a lot of anxiety, but in my experience it is a lot of just overthinking it. Try inviting them out to dinner or for a movie night and get the air cleared, or just talking to them to really show the situation isn’t bothering you. Hope everything gets better op!
