Hi guys,
So Ive been with starbucks about 3.5 years of my life. I suffer from mental illness issues and had a few write ups from attendance issues during my worst times. I wasnt aware of many of the benefits for mental health that starbucks had/ has if I did I wouldve gone on short term disability. I was late on friday 2/19 due to road conditions and then getting rear ended by someone, we're both fine just inconvenient. I am absolutely terrified I am going to be let go tomorrow when I come in for my next shift. I am on my final write up for attendance from september 2020 with my last tardy being oct from sudden snow, and then jan from a miscommunication on when I was supposed to come back from quarentine. I am a really strong partner, I am developing towards a shift, and I dont have any other issues other than this. I have made drastic improvements to my life and such so that I am not late, and I have better timing since my last write up in sept. I've been working with my manager for support and for accessing benefits through starbucks. I was asked to come in 30 min early tomorrow to talk with my manager about friday, and then also about the conversation I had with my ASM on saturday regarding her having to reach out to my DM. I was in a bit of a funk but I wasnt rude or mean to customers or coworkers on saturday, I just didnt want to talk much outside of what was necessary because I was extremely stressed and distraught over the potentiality of getting fired. I am still really stressed about this as all of my health and school is through starbucks. Do you think I am getting fired tomorrow?
Edit and Update:
I did not get fired. I still have my job thank god! My DM was very concerned about my ASMs way of handling the situation and only knew about it because I emailed her. DM also said I wouldn’t be fired because I can’t control the weather so it doesn’t make sense to fire me, that and my last write up was September. I talked it out with my manager who is also frustrated by my ASMs handling of the situation. Thank you all for good thoughts and prayers!!! I’m really glad I still have my job.
