Availability change (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by connormegee
I was recently hired a little over a month ago before I started going to school. My manager asked me what my availability would be during the semester but now that I’ve had to work 2 weeks, I don’t see how I’m gonna be able to balance everything and keep my sanity. Do you think they would understand if I had to change my avail. again even though it’s only been a few weeks? I know every manager is different but I was wondering if it’s even possible to change it so soon after already changing it.

My manager is pretty great about this. I am in the same boat as you. Been working a little over a week and I start classes full time in 3 weeks. I told her upfront, before she even hired me, that I could only work Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday starting October but for now I can work any day. Monday and Wednesday off because I have classes all day and Sunday off because I just want a damn day off to be with my kids and fam. I told her I want 28-32 hours and that I have a bachelorette party and wedding to go to on October. I was scared shitless to stand up for myself like that, but in the past I never asked for what I wanted and was super stressed and unhappy. She was soooo cool about it, it kind of threw me off that my fake confidence worked. So do it. Ask for a change in availability. The worst your SM can say is no, but I doubt they will if you are straight forward about why and stick to your guns. Good luck!!

I think the rule is 6 months before changing it. But definitely talk to your SM about still adjusting to your schedule, and they should be cool about it

That’s not a thing.
You can change it anytime in Teamworks.

The rule is change it once every four-six months. Yes, theoretically you can change it anytime on teamwork’s, but it can get denied. SM’s hire based on current partner availabilities and business needs. If you keep changing it every couple of months, it could lead to others not getting hours they deserve, or your store manager having to do frequent hiring.

Cool. I haven't figured out the app and never get a chance at the BoH computer so I am a bit behind

It doesn’t really matter about how often you change it as long as you give long enough notice but if you restrict your availability to much they can let you go
