Im scared Im going to be fired (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Gucci_Romaine
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.

Sorta new barista here so I’m not so familiar with all the technical details, but if you are a strong partner and it’s just tardy issues I don’t think they will fire you tomorrow! I’m sure if you explain your situation your manager is sure to understand and they won’t fire you over this! Keep your head up you are doing your best and stay positive you got this!! Sending you good thoughts and hope tomorrow goes well!
