Report any retaliation to partner resources otherwise call around for hours. If a SM retaliates in any form it's grounds for dismissal, you need to have notes as to how.

If you've been a partner for more than 3 months you can cover shifts at other stores. If you need hours, I would go to all the Starbucks in the area and give them your info so you can cover some other shifts at other locations.

Our store is having labor cut because even though we are the busiest store in our area, they are counting cold brew sales as the same as hot coffee. It takes forever to brew toddy's for cold brew, but let's just go ahead and count it as the same as hot coffee so we can cut labor.

Then you should report all short comings of the location to the sm first and if you don't feel the DM is competent then to partner resources. The first three months of the year are the slowest which hour shortage is a given though if partners that do not perform are receiving them, you should speak up and ask why? Especially if they violated standards regularly and push for disciplinary action!! The company is so anti disciplinary action unless pushed in violations which you can report the SM for not following!
