Yes I am however I was told the only reason the reason I wasn't contacted or told to even test without being isolated is because it was 3 days since working with that partner not 2 or less according to my store manager vaccination doesnt mean they wont tell you they would tell you and as long as you have no symptoms you still show to work and get tested 5 days after exposure im more worried abt the fact I wont be able to pay bills on 20 hours a week worth of pay if im positive I will lose 2 weeks at one job and 5 days at starbucks and I will literally be homeless after that lol partners need to not risk their coworkers getting sick because they dont wanna wear a mask imo and ill be having to make bill payments on credit cards in hopes I will work enough once im back

the thing is as far as ive been told after telling my manager this morning when I woke up he literally said "oh no you sound like shit are you okay do you have covid" then explained if I did get covid pay it would only be 20 hours for 5 days total in reality I work close to 40 most weeks and 55 to 60 hours at my second job... hard to not be absolutely livid with partners not doing the most to keep everyone safe when its costing me likely whole weeks worth of pay from one job and im only getting paid for 20 hours and given 5 days to feel better at sbux... I understand its not their fault as our manager has leaned on people to get them to come back after 5 days and to not take longer but still.... thinking about going down to the Chicago loop store and talking to employees about unionization and how the process started because it doenst feel safe anymore I want to wear a N95 mask to work when I return I feel like a bus hit me :(

im also fully vaccinated which makes possibly having it more upsetting as well

the issue is if i got covid it was because starbucks doesn’t enforce the covid mask policy at my store … I’m immune comprised and the second job i work has no contact with customers physically anymore and i am the only one working in store shipping things out for online orders and the store is sanitized daily by me… i don’t hang out with friends because i can’t risk it if they are sick or even just a little bit sick just sucks the unions starting to look like a good option to me at this point im insanely tired not feeling well and will be out of work for longer than 5 days with less pay than i normally would receive (2nd job is 2 weeks unpaid quarantine regardless of vaccination status per their policies) anyways hoping for the best at this point thanks for the information:)

yes im “isolating” rn as they haven’t scheduled me monday-thursday and i get my covid test back thursday morning at the latest if i am positive ill start quarantine at date if my positive test but two at homes have told me i am negative and im awaiting results of a rapid i took this morning at a testing site i pray im not because unlike some partners im 20 and completely moved out alone paying for everything on my own i can’t fall back on family or my couple thousand in savings as i don’t have that … just sucks doesn’t feel fair or safe to work in similar concerns have had stores unionize and it’s starting to seem needed just to be safe at work

cdc says even a fully vaccinated person who came into contact needs to get tested 5 days after contact but doesnt qualify for quarantine unless experiencing symptoms or testing positive.... they arent even following cdc guidelines

my other job is strictly me opening and closing on 8 hour shifts alone as well as every other employee the store is sanitized prior to closing by an employee its a family business we dont have any workers interacting with each other due to the fact we have 8 employees and the company doesnt want a single one of us to get covid and have been extremely serious since the beginning of the pandemic I dont go out places and I dont even hang out with people often as I have an autoimmune disorder I go to work and back home I even do school online... if I fo have covid I couldn't have gotten it anywhere else not informing me I was in contact with a covid positive partner is unacceptable cdc says if im fully vaccinated I dont have to quarantine but do have to test 5 days after contact... the more I think about it the more starbucks is starting to show how little they care about us

You only isolate for 5 days and only get paid for 5 days now.
