Just a vent (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ava10234
Ever since I got pregnant my boss has never treated me right. At the beginning I was high risk could only be on my feet a couple of hours she said “ok got it” continued to work me 6 days a week 8.5 hour days... i got guilted into calling out which i did twice while working there for two years. I’m not saying being pregnant gives me any special things, I’ve always believed that it didn’t, but i do think i was treated right...there is a lot that I don’t want to get into but all my coworkers have seen it and have confronted me about it...as I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy (9 months tomorrow) I have to be at appts once a week, i requested to be off on every weds once I hit 35w (did this well over a month in advance, left messages, texts, sticky notes, got an ok) my ob only offers ultrasounds weds and even though i dont have anymore scheduled, in case I need one that’s why I have appts weds... — I put my two weeks in a week ago before i read the weekly update, was not told by my boss about severance pay, loa or the other option, I basically missed out on a severance pay leave.— pretty mad, during all of this i expressed everything to my dm who essentially didn’t care. At least I’m almost done with the company. Thanks for letting me vent.


Edit when I was offered to come back in March I was told if i wanted to stay not working i could use my pto, later I found out when I was working they offered covid pay still to people deemed high risk which I only found out two days before that pay was no longer.

The amount of stories about SMs saying nothing about COVID choices is really sickening. That is not ok.

it’s honestly frustrating bc my SM did an amazing job of informing us, sitting us down, talking through options and every time she knew something, we knew hours later.

I’m on my second pregnancy with the company and honestly? I had to quit and basically transfer myself after my first pregnancy because of how shitty I was treated by my first SM. Some of them just do NOT understand, even when you’re informative and even when you make sure that they’re updated:/
Good luck to you! I hope it works out in your favor
