149**** here! Quick question. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by piratedashel
Celebrated my 13th anniversary this past summer Covid style- which means I had no idea what day it was until a week later.
Because of an autoimmune disease, I took the LOA. Has anyone heard what the plan is after September 30th? Am I likely to be called back, business as usual, or do you think leaves will be extended? I can’t see the virus doing anything but getting worse. We have 5x the cases than we did when I stopped working. 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks!

Honestly I don’t know how babies do it. When I started it was a very simple menu. Mocha, latte, frappuccinos, teas. Hot food, no sandwiches. I don’t know how y’all remember all the recipes and bizarre pump schemes and shit.

Same boat here! I'm a 186, 8 years. I took the leave too. I recently got a call from my manager. All I can say is be open to being flexible with your hours. They've operated without you for months now, and coming back in, you've gotta be prepared for a different game. I've had to change my hours just to make sure I am able to meet requirements. But this is survival mode at this point.

This isn’t my first time taking time off, I had maternity leave and then I was unable to walk due to my medical condition for a few months. I know it’s a whole new ballgame when I return. I’ve pretty much decided that I’m not coming back at the end of September. I made it clear that of I were required to return while it was still unsafe I would be taking a medical leave, or my coffee break. I get pleurisy randomly, I’ve been in a flare for over a year and I have a high risk for blood clots because of my disease. I’m a young mom, I can’t take the risk of going back. If i catch the virus i don’t know that I’d make it. I’m just trying to plan ahead, and see if Starbucks is offering any other options yet.

The Coffee Break is likely the surest way to protect your employment status. When the “partner choices” (work/LOA/severance package) were being offered, corporate made it pretty clear that they’re channeling their resources to partners who can and will work. I have no evidence for this, but I imagine a second severance package will be on the table at the end of September.
Best wishes!
