I refuse to work somewhere, where I am unsupported and disliked. (self.starbucksbaristas)

I went from partner of the quarter to shortening my hours to 3 days a week.
I had to start a second job for personal reasons that I don’t feel comfortable sharing with my SM. he knows that the job is overwhelming with their training and that my availability kicks in later than I need it to. he said he would be accommodating yet he didn’t accommodate me. I ask other partners for help, it’s “no, it’s bad for my mental health to close,” “no, I don’t like working weekends.” yet, i’m the partner who worked 2 weeks straight no break. I guess it’s my own fault for having high expectations. then when I come into work, disappointed about no one helping me, i’m getting talk about behind my back. then i’m getting messages stating that my attitude is bad and they don’t appreciate it.
i’ve done everything for this job, i’ve given up so much, to be treated like shit. I hope to transfer soon but man I wish I could just quit.

Hey, I hope you feeling better. But I feel the same way. I had to look my SM in the eyes and tell them I couldn’t afford groceries cause of the low hours I was getting. And tell them I was going to have to get a second job if they didn’t give me more hours. Personally I think you should tell them you need hours. I’ve had 2 jobs in the past and the stress is unbearable. Sometimes being brutally honest can help. I hope everything gets better soon. <3
