It’s crazy how some people can get away with literally everything while other people get in trouble over the smallest things(self.starbucksbaristas)

To make a long story (Post) short....I basically got a write up because I switched schedules with another partner without properly telling my manager & shift supervisor. (Not fully mad since i understand why) BUT how is it one of my coworkers be coming to working late almost everyday and has etc call out doesn't have one write up?
Again I'm not fully upset just puzzled

It happens at my store a lot and to be quiet honest it’s just favoritism :/ this one partner never shows up in dress code and my manager doesn’t say anything but one of my friends came in with a shirt that had a red accent and he got written up....

That's just.....dumb and I don't know if it is cause she has attitude fr fr. We would often work on the same time and she would almost every time call saying she will be coming like 20 minutes late (I understand public transportation can have delays BUT IF IT'S MORE THAN 5 TIMES, Maybe you should leave early or something)

Damn everyone in my store switches all the time. No one cares as long as someone shows up for the shift
Work would be so annoying if we constantly had to GeT aPpRoVaL

Especially if you call them and they don't answer you to then say "Oh, well I never got notified on this switch, etc." -\_\_-

Oh wow I think the work culture is definitely different at my store because you would get shamed for doing this to the point where no one does it here.

my store used to be like this, until people stopped showing up and it was one persons word against another’s. Now we have to get every shift change approved through teamwork’s 🙃

If your coworker doesn’t say anything about it, how would you know if they are getting write-ups or not? It’s possible they are just keeping it to themself.
dahmerpalms10 points2y ago
If they’re coming late to work “everyday” then they should have been fired by now if they’re getting written up each time, no?
_Pulltab_3 points2y ago
Maybe. If it’s a recent thing, there may be a specific reason that OP isn’t aware of that the employee discussed with the manager. Or maybe he/she have already received a write up (or two). Typically it takes 3 before they’ll boot you. OP didn’t say, but maybe this isn’t the first time the manager has spoken to them about clearing swaps with them. There’s just a lot of unknowns. If a manager is going to take steps to write someone up for schedule switching, then I would assume they would write up chronic tardiness, as well.

True but seeing as how it's a constant thing and how "Being on time is EVERYTHING!" I'm just like...bruh? Heck I heard one of my other coworkers got fired cause he was late too constant times so it's confusing to say the least.

I think it’s due to favoritism too. I’m late to work a couple of times a week and I’ve never been written up. But I have a coworker who has called out a couple of times and she’s gotten a write up already.

Same, rarest i been late was like 20 minutes but often times my manager is not working that day. Even if so i call my store to give them a heads up.
Nigee_Ogee1 points2y ago
Ya that’s crazy!

Favoritism is in my store as well. It's irritating for sure! Just make sure to stand up for yourself when it matters the most!

I used to have a shift who would wear thin leggings to work. She’d bend over and you could see what color her thong was through them. But she was soooo far up our store manager’s ass that he never said anything. Of course though if I or anyone else were to wear leggings it would be a problem.

I know someone who got written up for accidentally mixing the dimes and the nickels in the register. she wasn’t counting or anything, just put them in the wrong place when she ran out while on register and didn’t realize she put them in the wrong place. And I also know people who have been late every single day that I’ve worked with them and have never gotten a formal write up or honestly anything other than an “omg you’re always late haha” 🙃 it’s either favoritism or some Managers are more worried about some rules but not others 🤷🏻♀️

I know someone who miscounts the money by hundreds and they haven’t been fired, but no one in my store gets written up or fired for anything
mielmami2 points2y ago
i have too much of a mouth on me to put up w bullshit, i’ll get fired before i let anyone mistreat me.
VectoredClarinet2 points2y ago
This could very well be someone from my store. I’m kind of shocked at how common it is!

People at my store give away free drinks to regulars and their families i did one time and i got in trouble. Another time a coworker was drink coffee in the drive thru and nothing was said and i was drink water on a hot day not even a full glass of water and got told it needs to be taken into the back i take it as some partners are superior to others especially if they’ve been there longer.

My store manager warns some of us for time punches issues if they’re like 30 minutes late but her least favorites get emails reminding us we have two warnings left before our dm let’s us go. from our district manager... Can we get a warning first please?!

That’s bizarre that’s what shift swap is for in teamwork app. We can swap anytime we want now.
Favoritisms has always been an issue at SB. Very unfortunate
