Not sure what to do.. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by burntoutcoffeebean
I’ve been with starbucks for a few years now and it’s really affecting me mentally right now. My SM is scheduling me 6 days a week, 9+ hour shifts when i’m starting school. I just need some encouragement on what to do. Do i drop my hours completely, drop down to barista, or just drop the job all together and find something different. If you’re going through something similar i’d love to just hear your input on what you think.

Tell your manager about the situation. They can’t make any suggestions or help you if you don’t say something.

I’d start with asking for less hours because you want to prioritize your education! I’m in the same boat and I don’t think I’ll have to drop my position because it makes me really happy to be a leader in the workplace. If you’re honest with you SM that school might be tough and you need to work 4-5 days instead, I feel like that’s something they have to respect! If they don’t respect it, transfer or go down to a barista position to ease off the stress. You’ve got this!
