Some get hired as shifts, some people get promoted based on attitude, aptitude and store need. Are you suspicious about why you were promoted or how it happened?

How long you’ve worked doesn’t really matter, it more has to do with being trustworthy, a leader, and keeping the team up to standards. If you have peers coming to you now asking questions, or mirroring your behaviour/attitude I wouldn’t question it, you can even look at the transition from barista to shift in the ops excellence guide. There is a list of experiences that suggest when someone should be looking towards moving forward

it was kind of similar for me. however it was after a year. i never interviewed, i was just promoted after being asked if i would be interested in the position. we had a need for supervisors tho, so maybe there is a need in your area? either way, congrats on the promotion!

I told my manager to make me a shift. And she did. That was it basically. I did interview with my DM, but not my SM, although it became clear in that interview that DM thought my SM interviewed me. I've never even done a PDP in about two years. Lots of others qualify at my store, but I don't think any of them wanted it? I dunno.

The way you explained it is interesting. When my store needed shifts, they asked and those who responded basically got interviewed. Same for people looking to move up. I’ve never heard of someone just being asked and it immediately happening. Does your store or district need shifts? It could just be they see something in you and want you to pass that on, because of need, or because nobody else wants to and there’s an open position.
