I need help (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by carzrule
My sm keeps texting me a “different schedule” every few weeks for the following week. Today, she added two more days, and changed my hours on my other days. She does this to all new and new-ish partners. Idk what to do. I don’t want to make her upset, but her scheduling is her issue. What do I do?

Uh no. The whole reason they have to have it posted so advance is for us to be able to coordinate our lives around it. If this was me, I would politely ask if they have a second to talk next time you work together when it’s slow. And just say “ I know scheduling is probably difficult and I appreciate you keeping me updated. But with all these changes it’s really hard to plan ( other activities or just even life) around it constantly changing. I would appreciate it if there is anyway I am able to have my schedule and it be set that way with out it constantly changing” or something like that. I have learned in my time at Starbucks, you have to stand up for yourself. It’s scary! But you got this!

Honestly, she has scheduled me so that I won’t see her for at least the next two weeks. She never put in my availability for during the school year (I asked her to show me how and she just told me to text it to her and she will). I also just requested a day off that I really need.

If this continues you will have to go to your dm. None of this is okay.

If you google Starbucks teamwork’s ( a reddit link to the address comes up), and sign into it with your partner number and password you can change your own availability. Your manager still has to approve it but then you have proof you said you weren’t available during certain times. In case you need to escalate it. I would shoot your manger a text asking to discuss your scheduling.
Find out what day you can come in to talk to them when they are there. I had to go I’m on my day off to straighten out scheduling before. I know it sucks, but sometimes you gotta sacrifice to solve the issue. Be polite but direct. Starbucks policy is to have the schedule 2 weeks in advance. Let your manger know that you understand emergencies happen that can cause scheduling to stray from that policy but that you really need to know your schedule in advance without it constantly changing on short notice.

I would ask another partner how to add your availability. Everyone should know how to do it and would be happy to show you!

Add the availability on Teamworks. Once the manager approves, Teamworks wont let ur manager schedule outside of it
