After being a barista for 4 years, and a shift for 5 month's, and I was let go 3 days ago. I'm not mad, I made mistakes that led to this that I wasn't self aware enough at the time to know I was making them, but I do now. I'm mostly just sad that things are ending this way, and disappointed in myself for not being a successful shift. What hurts the most is that this particular boss was the best manager I ever had, and I really wanted to do right by her and the baristas. I also think that that was the reason I was trying to make a job fit that wasn't really fitting, so even tho I am so sad that things with starbucks ended this way, I am also really hopeful for my future. I have learned so much about myself and people through this experience, and I will continue to learn as i prosses everything that happened. Idk really why I'm making this post, except maybe to say goodbye in the way that I really wanted too. So goodbye starbucks, it has been the best of times and the worst of times, and even though this is the end of the road, I know I am better of for it. So thank you.
