You're obviously not happy, so take the higher salary and run.

The only reason to stay in my opinion would be if you are staying for the online ASU classes. Even then it may not be worth it... especially if you find something that pays better and is less stressful

I am taking classes right now at ASU so I am going to try and stay long enough to finish those. But I am at the point where I don’t know what I want to go to school for so I can just go to a community college near my house that will allow me to take general Ed for about the same a mount of money each semester.

A better paying job = more savings = paying for my own school :)

Thats my thought process right now too. I’m doing ASU but my mental health has taken such a hit lately that I dont think it’s worth it anymore. Jobs I’m looking at are almost $5 more an hour so I could save more and put my own money towards school.

You won’t get any money from stocks until Nov 2021.
And as a barista is will be HALF of your 5 or 6 shares

Do. Not. Stay. For Stocks.

I will say the free food and programs help- it really depends on the benefits the other jobs provide

I also plan to move in January. So the two jobs I’d be taking would be for the next 3 months, then I would move out of state.

My original plan was to transfer to a different Starbucks but I’m not sure if it’s worth it if I could make a ton of more money in the next 3 months.

I’m sure I could get re hired as well.

I will say yes, job security is real. Are you a total new hire? If its only for 3 months they might not bite

Bear in mind that your stock shares don't actually become yours until your two year anniversary, and even then it's 50% of each grant year per year.

So one year in, you're "granted" let's say 6 shares. Then a year later, 3 shares "vest" and are yours, plus you are granted another 6. By year three, the second half of your first grant vests (3 + 3) and the first half of your second year vests (+3) for a total of 9 shares vested, 9 pending your fourth year.

So if you're just waiting for stocks, you're better off to use your tips and do your own online trading.
