when my manager wasn't enforcing the wearing of masks by customers

For me it was when I no longer got excited when getting that perfect flat white. Also I got lucky because that was when they were offering the severance pay

When they asked me to be a Store manager.
After seeing the constant burn out from that position. It really made me think, you know what. In second thought this isn’t for me. I’ve peaked at ASM. It’s time to move on and give the apron a break.

I eventually went back. But on a part time based and I loved working part time. I’ve worked 3 separate times between 2004-2020.

i knew it was time when i was having panic attacks before every shift. it got to the point where i was so miserable every single day that i would get so anxious that i would vomit before going in for my shifts, sometimes even during my shift, and to make things worse, my manager didn’t even care. i would run off of the floor to vomit in the restroom and come back and she would make me finish my shift. i was filled with dread every time i even thought about work, and then i realized that there was literally no reason for me to stay at a place that made me so miserable. i put in a bunch of applications for other jobs and as soon as i got hired somewhere else, i put in my notice.

When they showed us they cared more about serving the customers and appeasing the stockholders than keeping us safe while in a global pandemic. The hazard pay and overtime was not worth the long shifts, sometimes up to 12 hours, nor the abuse we got from customers who were frustrated with the pandemic and new way of doing things. I worked the first month of the pandemic, then went on furlough and chose not to come back when they ended it. I had a second job that treated me better, took the pandemic more seriously and ensured my coworkers and I would be safe before reopening to the public in June of last year.

boost cus i wanna know too

when they offered the buyout

When I stopped liking everything about it

I was only a green bean of three months when I decided to leave, which I felt guilty about but I just could *not* mentally handle the job. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired all the time and I needed to prioritize myself. Now I work at a little boba shop and I absolutely love it!
