Leave of absence? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
I recently faced a traumatic sexual assault and have not had time to cope between multiple jobs, I have a store transfer coming up but would like to take some leave between then and now. Would the company be able to accommodate me? I have to deal with my coworkers openly talking about suicidal tendencies and other triggering things at work and I just can’t handle it. I’m too depressed.

If your transfer date hasn't been locked down yet you might be able to push your start date back a day/week/something. It means no money, but heads can be very dark places after trauma so take time. I'd also suggest finding a support group in the place you're going so you can add a supportive change to your change of scenery. I'm rooting for you!!

My transfer date is March 16th. What number should I call? Or should I email my store manager? She’s pregnant and has made herself scarce as of late.

Both probably. Ask current manager about not being scheduled those last few days, and new manager about not being scheduled the first few.

You are allowed to take a leave of absence for mental health reasons. Ask your manager about it, or someone else if you are not comfortable.
