I worked at the busiest, highest profit location in my city. My SM had already been flat out mean and rude to me, refusing to give me the hours I was told I'd get when I was hired on, making it impossible for me to pay my rent this month. Earlier this month I texted her telling her I'd had close contact with someone with COVID and I needed to get tested.
She asked me if I had any symptoms and then told me I had to come in the next day when I said no.
I flat out refused, she wouldn't let me tell her it was dangerous and take the time to get tested, so I didnt show up for my shift. I didnt want to be the person who potentially exposed the store and the hundreds of people who come in on a daily basis.
She called me the next day and told me that she wanted me to come in for my next shift.
I *politely* told her to go fuck herself, and told her she was the reason she lost so many partners she hired on.
After over a month of her berating me at every chance she got (my favorite was her telling me to just stand somewhere and stay out of the way while I was trying to help during a rush, I hadn't made any mistakes, another green bean had messed something up but the SM gave her a pass and let her keep working), I was over it.
She's had an abnormally high turnover rate and I'm really hoping that something happens but I'm so bummed that I cant go back to working at starbucks. It was such a great environment and the people I worked with made me go home happier than I came in every single day. I'm heartbroken that this opportunity was taken away from me by a boss that didn't care about the health and safety of her partners.
EDIT: I somehow forgot to mention that she forced a teenager with COVID to work at the store for a week before she was allowed to stay home and recover.
