Shift stepping down; advice (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
Hey everyone, I’ve been at Starbucks for almost two years and of that I’ve been a shift for 1.5years. It sucks. It’s always sucked. I told myself I would try it for a year and it just doesn’t seem to be getting better. The only thing keeping me is the pay. I’ve been treated so poorly and burned a few to many times by my old manager. I’m young, a full time student don’t have the schedule I need. We just got a new manager this week. After the events that transpired on my shift today I’m not sure if I can do it. I hope it gets better with our new manager but I’m not even sure if I should be a shift anymore because I’m no longer doing a good job of caring enough to keep it together. I may be better as a barista, less responsibilities and less to be blamed for and I wasn’t really a barista for long anyways. How does one step down? What are the reproductions? I have to stay with Starbucks because they pay for my school. I care enough to do this correctly at least. Should I stay on and see if this new guy fixes it?

Thanks for the advice

I would try to hang in there while the new manager gets situated. But definitely have a discussion with them about what made your time as an SSV difficult. They might be able to help rectify the issues and allow you to want to stay on as an SSV. And if you still feel the same after a little time or if you feel like you really are getting burnt out, then look to stepping down. Good luck!
