I just came off 10. Totally my fault for agreeing to cover for someone. Not gonna lie, I spent a lot of my downtime reconsidering my life choices. Lol

Seeing how many people have to work like this for Starbucks really says a lot. I'm there more than my boss. Like what the actual fuck?

Good luck!! Remember to stay hydrated and fed! My current record is 14. I have no desire to try and beat it.

At starbucks, my record is 7 days. In general, since September 16, I have worked every single day. I work two jobs and have a side business. I've not had a single day off. Plus we're now renovating our kitchen. So I don't even know what sleep is anymore.

How do you sync the schedule with GCal?
masochistic_brat [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I just manually put it in. I find it a TON easier to just sit down and put it in my cal than to log on to sbux to find my schedule

You got this! Ive had that happen to me.twice... Once because I covered a shift and once because that's just how,it was scheduled. I think it's shitty on SM's parts to just straight up schedule that... But thats me.
You can do it!

Had 2 days off, have a 5 hour meeting today for shift supervisors, then onto 9 day straight as well....
my mom says it’s illegal to work someone over 7 days without 24 hours off but who is going to really fight it

Was scheduled to do 9 but I actually was so sick on day 8 that I went home early half way into my shift and missed day 9. Almost like making people work that many days consecutively with the public can affect someone’s immune system or something

13 days is my record. My fault for saying yes..mental health should come first. I love my job but working for that long burnt me out.

Don’t forget your self care! Definitely needed to survive long stretches!
