So on Monday March 16th my store was set to close the following day and all of our partners were being sent to different locations. My husband has asthma which puts him in the high risk category so I decided to take CAT pay as to not risk exposure to COVID19. Since not working all of the stress in my life has gone. I can say now that all of the negativity I was experiencing is directly related to Starbucks. I’ve been thinking a lot about what to do when things start to go back to normal. I feel like I cannot mentally or emotionally put myself back into my store without it being a detriment to my mental health. So my dilemma is, I don’t know if it’s the company or just my specific store. I had found a store to go to and started the process of transferring before stores started closing everywhere and I don’t know if I should follow up on the steps to continue. When I was telling my store manager about looking to transfer, I told her it was the commute (it’s about a 25-30 minute drive no traffic) and her response was that I’m going to have the same problems no matter what store I go to and I just feel like there is no point staying with a company who doesn’t uphold their mission and values in store. I have a friend who is recently promoted and she keeps telling me that the issues are in fact just in my store and most other stores don’t have the drama mine does and it would be worth it to transfer. For context the issues I’m having are gossip, no sense of teamwork from partners, bullying, negative attitudes all around and a weird “I hate the customers” but to an extreme extend imo. So I guess I’m just here to vent and ask advice on whether or not a should stay with the company. I feel at a loss.
