What have your hours been cut to? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by CommanderWar64
Mine have went from 33 hours to SEVENTEEN FOR THREE WEEKS IN A ROW. We really need to unionize. If you can’t give us the hours needed to live, fire some of us so the others can take their hours. We have too many people for our small stores, people across the board are getting like 20 hours average. This is bullshit. How are your stores doing?

I don’t understand how they can say we don’t have enough partners and then not schedule people. Starbucks is making peak money right now.
ItzBoogieMan 12 points 1y ago
Oh, we’re making peak money rn? I guess that means we are over staffing and need to cut down on hours, that’ll save us some more money for ourselves.



Fuck starbucks and fuck everything they stand for.

Try asking other stores if they need shifts picked up
No-Pearl000 12 points 1y ago
20-25 hours to 8 hours :)

25 hrs to now only 14/17 hours. so ridiculous

This is being done specfically to AVOID unionization.. there's a reason this is inexplicably happening. Get the old blood out and get a bunch of newbies in who don't care as much. It's disgusting. My manager KNEW I needed more hours but hired a fuckload of people instead and they got cut :')

This isn’t just a my store thing? Damn!
My availability is Thurs-Sun (usually get 25-30 hours) - only got a 5.75 hr shift on Sunday 🤪

went from working 5 days straight every week 30+ hours, to 2-3 days and lucky if i get more than 12 🥲
Redecide 3 points 1y ago
Idk I've actually went up in hours... been hitting 40 to mid 30's since I've been here and it's staying on the upper end
jjanuaryy 1 points 1y ago
Yeah same I usually average mid 20s and now I’m getting 30+
BatWeary 3 points 1y ago
35-38 to 21-29. it’s not as significant of gap as i’m seeing in some of the replies but i’m literally broke right now. my sm isn’t letting anyone pick up shifts, either. we also just had two people put their two weeks in, so you would think they would give people longer shifts to make up for those two people but no…
looker009 3 points 1y ago
From 25 to 15-17 but it's okay i am applying to different places and soon hopefully i can leave.

15-20 cut down to 14-15 :/

There is something called constructive termination when your hours are cut like that.

I'm actually getting more than normal recently, with a few new hires! It seems like my Store is an exception though😳
bigtime0of 2 points 1y ago
Went from 35 to over 50. Im a shift and we went from 7 shifts to 3 🥲. Weve been trying to hire shifts for months now and no applications, and because of no one applying for shifts anywhere in our area they wont even let us transfer anyone. Fun times 🙃

From usually 25-28 hours, to now 14-18. Literally only working like 3 days a week. My rent is almost $2000 and I had to pay late last month and probably again this month because I can’t afford my half anymore.
bnnyboy13 2 points 1y ago
21-25 to 8.25 hrs... i don't get it
chowderchop 1 points 1y ago
I wish I was given less hours. Requested an availability change because I no longer need the hours but still enjoy working here (Starbucks is my side gig) and according to my GM "You must be available for 20 hours a week" even though ideally, I would like to only work maybe 15 at the most to help out and not be overwhelmed by working two jobs. SO he took off a day for me but I'm still having to work 4 days :/

i know that at my store the number of hours is relative to the sales made. maybe that makes a difference?
mollythewiz 1 points 1y ago
20 to 5😀
Think-Trainer4318 1 points 1y ago
Mine were cut because of our DM for 2 weeks but my SM helped me pick up a shift at a nearby store so i only lost maybe 2 hrs
