Overcoming work anxiety (self.starbucksbaristas)

New partner here!! So far I absolutely love the job. My manager is amazing, fellow partners are SO cool, and I actually really enjoy being on pos/making drinks, etc. The only thing I’m struggling with really badly is the pit in my stomach that I get before my shift. I get SO MF ANXIOUS before work, and idek why. I was at my previous job for 4 years, and was one of the most senior employees there, so maybe it’s just because I’m not comfortable yet? Idk but it’s honestly so uncomfortable and I hate feeling like this :(

I had this feeling for a while when I was new too. It’s terrible and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. The only piece of advice I can give you is that it does go away. Not all at once but little by little. You connect with a co-worker, it fads a bit. You learn how to make a new drink, if fads more. You get through a tough interaction, it fads even more. Eventually, it’s basically gone. A lot of new partners go through so don’t feel strange. You got this!
