Leaving the Siren (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by IckyBupper
It's done and over with. Between the ableism, sexism, racism, and transphobia, I've hit a breaking point. This place? I don't want to keep dragging my feet through that shit anymore. You can keep your random app promotions, your outages, your refusal to increase wages, and your refusal to help your partners. Something else is calling me, and it's the safety of being home, the comfort of never missing an appointment again, the ability to focus on my mental health until I can find another job, and the respect for myself I have found in coming to the conclusion that quitting is saving myself from harm.

Promoting myself from underappreciated, underpaid, doormat barista to a better, happier version of myself.

and, for the record, I've been for planning this for a while. Bills got me fucked up, but i think i will be okay. I think i can do this.

I hope for better days to come for you. I respect you've made it as far as you have, the company isn't for everyone. Wishing you the best

You really deserve it. I’ve been thinking the same myself. Starbucks loves to do little flashy things to act like they care about their partners but really we’re all just doormats. I wish you nothing but happiness and stress-free days!

Good for you! You deserve better than this place. Your self confidence in your ability to do this is hard earned and well deserved. You DO have this. You already know what it means to work hard. Now it's time to spend that energy on yourself instead of the siren ❤.
