This manager is incredibly unprofessional. Wow.

This sounds like a high school argument lol, I have never had such a condescending manager.

Edit: after watching more of this chick’s videos, I really have to wonder who pushed who to this point lol

Idk if you’ve seen that Spencer dude on tik tok, but he also had the same manager and said she was awful. So I’d assume the manager is the antagonist here. Also, if you lose your temper and engage in arguments like this, you don’t deserve to run a store.

I'm not willing to take a side on this, especially since the ex barista throws at least three of her former coworkers under the bus in her rants (the couple, one of whom is almost definitely gonna have to leave/transfer due to this, and I think it was her trainer who she accused of vague shit). I imagine its a shitty situation all around but even with my worse managers I never felt the need to tattle on others when I was facing trouble. I also would have simply hung up the phone if I were being talked to that way. No doubt the manager sounds psycho and the environment toxic... but there are simpler ways to avoid conflict at work, and her demeanor, to me having dealt with drama queens my whole life, is sus.

Idk, I guess the way I see it is that this is a young adult with an entry level, minimum wage job vs a grown woman who is responsible for an entire store. Even if she was a bad employee, as a manager you should know that you’re going to eventually have to deal with some bratty teenagers with bad attitudes, and know how to act accordingly. Especially at a place like Starbucks. Idk if that makes sense.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't agree that SMs should be subject to undue drama and theatrics just because they agreed to the salary. OP brags about "having a college degree" in one of her tiktoks, which would likely put her at 20+ depending on what kind of degree it is and whether she went immediately after high school. My own manager is 22, so I can't attest to how old and mature this SM is supposed to be, but she is fielding this call from home with a very young child waiting in the background, so I'm not going to assume she has her shit together. I think OP is frustrated by the lack of response from the company, but she could have filed for unemployment or taken this to any other platform than tiktok. The fact that she is now spamming it across reddit just paints the picture of someone who's living for the drama and doesn't search for practical solutions to her problems. Also, the whole ratting in her partners thing really sucks. We all do things "wrong" at work sometimes, employment is always tentative on the relationships you make and keep at a place, its a hard lesson to learn that it isn't fair, but trying to drag others down along the way is pretty messed up.
