I've been with the siren for a year now. Before the pandemic I actually really loved our company. I believed we were moving in a positive direction as far as wages go witch was my big issue. I have severe depression and anxiety after being diagnosed at13 I've only began treating it 2years ago. This year has been difficult for ANYONE FROM ANY WALK of LIFE. Tossing In a solid mental health issue and well it's been hard

To say the LEAST WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS AT MY STARBUCKS, while we constantly have broken equipment like headsets, batteries, registers, unable to clock in for 2weeks, no thermometer thats just off the top...as well as running out of product constantly. People around here get murderous when there's no Chai. I work at a very busy store. We're now on our 3rd closing due to a partner testing positive. I am also having symptoms, 100.3 fever this morning. It's obscene that our cafes are&have been open. No one has said anything about if we get paid this time. We haven't been since the 1st closing when the whole state shut down. The risk to my father who is in his 60's, just began dialysis, & is on a kidney transplant list, who lives with me and I care for is all I think about. Hopefully after getting my Covid Test results I can move ahead with being tested to see if I am a viable transplant candidate. I am literally horrified to ask my store manager about medical leave. Thinking about calling the SBUX #...I have never been this anxiety ridden, feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. Thanks for listening. Sorry if I'm all over the place. Can't sleep.

sending you mad love and strength- if at all possible I would take the two weeks to quarantine yourself and decompress from the terrible working conditions that you have
