warning: long post

So, i’ve been with starbucks for almost six years now. the first year was great, but ever since- the company is absolute shit. i’d hate to say it, but i am an amazing partner. and yet, for the past 5 years i have been dealing with non stop bullshit from this company. everything from allowing us to get harassed by a manager (who they would not fire, even after we sent in hundreds of complaints- they later moved him to a new store where he was terminated for sexual harassment. lol.) they have allowed racism and sexism to fly. i have worked at multiple stores, this problem seems to be rooted in Starbucks. they look great on paper, awesome benefits, “mental health woo hoo” “black lives matter” (yup ok) but in reality? just another shitty cooperation. sad because it used to be a very special company for sure.

anyways, the reason i’m posting this is because today i got my first ever “Documented Coaching” write-up because I got a shift COVERED because i was SICK during a PANDEMIC. the write up literally says - “_my name_ missed One shift” First of all, it’s my managers responsibility to find coverage if i’m sick so i already did more than my part by finding coverage myself.
second of all, when i told my manager that I did what was right- he says “oops my memory just isn’t what it used to be” but still won’t void this write up?

bottom line, i’m tired. in all honesty, i feel like i’ve completely outgrown this company and it’s drama. it’s pathetic, actually. my mom wants me to fight them on this, but i’ve spent the past 5 years fighting for basic decency from the company. I’m just ready to move on, even if that means struggling for a bit. I just want Starbucks to be in my past. I know i’m right, and i know i should stand up for myself, but it’s just not worth it anymore.
