Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

manager scheduling me way too much (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by usercatmail
My store went through the whole 3 packages thing and the whole lecture about how we’ll all probably get our hours reduced due to the financial strain COVID caused. Apparently a lot of people are leaving according to my manager (yet I haven’t heard a single person say they’re leaving). Usually I close since im a full time student and I have class during the day, I’ve told my manager before I don’t want more than around 20 hours since there are other people that need the hours more and that’s really all I can handle with my school workload. Now since people are quitting, the people that are left (me) have gotten our hours increased. By a lot. And really without any say in the matter. I now have 36 hours next week and my shifts are close open close open close open and there’s nobody to cover me or anyone I can switch with and 2 of my shifts are outside of my availability. I’m not sure what to do at this point as my district has paused all transfer requests and I can’t quit because I need the money. I’ve talked to my manager about this a few times to really no avail, they’ll never really offer a solution. Idk what to do. Plz help.

Change your availability. Make yourself available for only 2-3 days a week on TeamWorks, and only during closing tines. Thus, your manager will not be able to schedule you for more shifts.

I would suggest coupling that with an email to your district manager explaining what you just shared with us, just in case your SM attempts to decline your availability change request.

The issue is my store closes a lot earlier now because of COVID and my class is right in the middle of the day so by the time I’m done with my class, I only have 3 hours to work. So my only option is to open now and even my opening shifts can’t be any longer than like 6 hours because my class is 5 hours long. So if I want any hours I have to be able to open at least but my manager is taking advantage of it. I think I’ll email the DM

Change your availability to only opens (since your store closes a lot earlier now) and to the days that you want to work. If your SM denies it, talk to your Dm about it and mention the school thing. Or call PRSC.
