hey starbucks partners 👋

so around this time last year i was hired as a barista at a cafe store. after 5 or so months, the store manager who hired me resigned & we got a new sm along with an assistant sm. i ended up being discriminated out of that store (for being a transgender woman) within a month.
i could tell the new sm wanted me gone before we even met. every time they spoke to me they found a way to bring up that i’m trans, usually with microagressions. ex: in a store meeting pointedly said “if you’re a man you don’t know what it’s like to be a woman” while trying to make eye contact with me, encouraged ignoring “oddball pronouns” and misgendering non-binary people, and in private they would often other me by bringing up that i’m trans at inappropriate times & in inappropriate ways.
the assistant sm was pretty similarly uncomfortable with me & constantly called me “man” even though he didn’t refer to any of the other girls that way. one day (2 or 3 days after reopening from lockdown) he yelled @ me & threatened to fire me after i told him he left the bar a mess. i had a meltdown (i’m autistic) and although i told him i couldn’t talk at that moment he made me come to the back & wouldn’t let me leave while he yelled @ me less than 2 feet away without wearing a mask.
afterward i refused to work with him again and of course the sm used that as a way to remove me from the store. they transferred me to another store and made me sign a write up with incorrect info on it, saying i wouldn’t be able to transfer if i didn’t go along with it. the write up implied that i swore on the floor (i didn’t) and put exclamation marks after things i said with a neutral tone to make me seem insensitive. it was a “final warning” write up even though i hadn’t ever been written up before then.
my new store was welcoming & i didn’t have any issues while i worked there but i have since separated from the company. that new store was much busier and it pushed me into burnout (autism term; lots of sensory pain & i couldn’t speak for like a month) so i had to separate 😔

so ANYWAY i’m wondering if it’s worth it to report it this far down the line? i haven’t because i figured since they tricked me into signing a write up nothing would happen and i would just end up being blamed for what happened to me?
i haven’t up to this point been able to pursue the issue myself because of how distressing it is, but it’s eating away at me. i just don’t want this to happen to anyone else. i know the truth but i’m worried people will try to twist it against me at this point. what do y’all think?
