How has my manager and shift not gotten fired? And I think I might be fired?! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Kyenne_Pepper123
So my manager is an extremely hands off manager, like so hands off to where she’s never in the store or she’ll be in the store for like 2-3 hrs each week. On top of that she never really handles situations very well. An example of this is that on two separate occasions I had a shift curse me out for no reason, I didn’t do anything wrong. I tell my store manager both times and we talk about what happened on both occasions.
Instead of talking about the situation she decided to victim blame me saying how I do stuff like leave without permission, even if it’s past my clock out time. Then when I say to her that one, that’s not true, and two how does that pertain to how your shifts are treating a barista.
Both times I talked to my district manager and he didn’t do anything either. I’ve also tried calling partner resources and they don’t do anything. I know I can’t know if the shifts got written up but my manager trying to victim blame me and make excuses for the shift is unacceptable.
My shifts and store manager also get mad when I tell them I have to leave at my clock out time do to me being in college and me having to get to class. I kindly tell them that I have class and if they need me to do something not wait until the last minute. But that’s not good enough for them.

Because if the incident above I think I might be fired. I’m writing this on a Saturday night and my schedule isn’t on teamwork’s for the week of the 15th. I’m kinda scared to ask my manager because of the bad history I have with her. I have a text drafted to ask her about the schedule but I’m kinda scared to send it because idk what her response will be. Can the incident above get me fired even though I feel I did nothing wrong?

You should absolutely not get fired if you know you did nothing wrong. I’m so sorry for your terrible experience, not all stores are like that. My advice would be #1 - try to get a transfer to another nearby store. If they can’t treat you right, you need to walk away. Second, if they try to fire you, bring it to HR and say i am willing to take legal action due to unlawful termination and they will basically fix that crap immediately. There is no reason for you to get fired. Treated Teri my for no reason

HR’d most likely set up an arbitration.

I would go to your region manager and say hey I’m sorry it has come to me speaking with you but this is what’s going on. Ive reached out to my district manager and the situation is still continuing. Or call it into partner resources again.

I’ve been trying to contact near by stores but I’ll try again on Monday. Im terrified to contact HR due to the fact that when ever I’ve gone to partner resources nothing was done. Like it’s gotten to the point to where I feel like if I bring something up, imma be unprotected. And what would count as an unlawful termination?

Swearing is a fireable offense. When you called PCC did you mention that to them? And did you follow up again when it seems nothing was done ?

I did mention to them that I was cursed out and I told them nothing was was done. They just told me to contact my regional manager and he didn’t do anything either.
