comrade_rj_51 points1y ago
and the 5.5 hours so you don’t even get a 30 😁😁😁😁😁 love it here
samanthaway7 points1y ago
Which state are you in? Curious because in my state you get a 30 if you work 5hrs
comrade_rj_20 points1y ago
lol florida, we have like no labor laws lol
mars_redacted [OP]3 points1y ago
yuuppp that’s how it is in New Mexico as well. shit sucks ass
ggoldensunsetss50 points1y ago
omg I thought I was bad 😀 but I cannot survive off of 18 hours a week in California
Glittering_73729 points1y ago
Same,I'm living of off partners asking me to take their shifts or managers calling me in for extra help. It's missarable.
always_hungryy27 points1y ago
You should look at your states labor laws. In some states there are a minimum hour’s requirement for employers. In my state there is a 20 hour minimum rule that employers have to give employees at least 20 hours a week, there are exceptions to that but it’s worth checking out in your state
SrirachaSauce546610 points1y ago
No like legit, they’re telling the truth. Do you also have Starbucks benefits? Because if you do, you have to be able to work a certain amount of hours as well to keep them, and your store has to provide those hours.
persona-22 points1y ago
Oh what states? I don’t think mine is one.
always_hungryy2 points1y ago
CA. There are lots of exception but basically if an employer has decided they need an employee they need to have at least 20 hours of work for that employee
thatazirafella25 points1y ago
Yeah, got my hours cut from 23.5 to 13.5. But manager assures everyone that we're not gonna see a big change, so don't worry! :)
Dramatic_Celery_226217 points1y ago
I genuinely want to know is this a reoccurring thing or is this because of the unionizing?
overturned2334 points1y ago
Hour cuts always happen in the beginning of the year but not this bad, it’s a union busting tactic. Last year this time my hours were cut from 35 to 30, this year they have been cut from 34 to 22. It’s ridiculous
_circuts16 points1y ago
Wh-how is this a union busting tactic??? If anything I want to unionize more in hopes a conversation happens prior to these severe hour cuts... But what do I know? Obviously not much.
theLegendairy112 points1y ago
Less hours = more likely to quit (instead of staying and unionizing/asking for better working conditions) and less time to talk to your coworkers about unionizing
_circuts2 points1y ago
Ah that makes sense
Dramatic_Celery_22625 points1y ago
Thank you for the clarification!
goddessofwaterpolo9 points1y ago
I have 0 hours this week because of an issue with Sedgwick. When I’m active again (which they keep delaying) I can try to take shifts from others but who is going to give up their few hours?? And even when I can have my schedule again I get what, 18 a week if I’m lucky?
I took this job because I needed one and needed a break from healthcare and I truly love it. I want to keep working at coffeeshops but others don’t pay as well. But I literally can’t afford to work here anymore. Which breaks my heart because again, I actually really love this job, I love my regulars and coffee and especially making drinks for kids. It’s just not really feasible for me.
CardiographicDuck8 points1y ago
I’ve had to, as well. It’s funny that one of the perks of Starbucks is the pay when you’d literally get more making $9 an hour somewhere else because at least you’d get hours
Fozzybean8 points1y ago
Ask your SM to borrow you to every store in your district so you can see all unfilled shifts.
XX_Jxnior7 points1y ago
Wanna cover my shift in Thursday and Saturday?
mars_redacted [OP]5 points1y ago
hell yeah dude hand it over
XX_Jxnior1 points1y ago
On*
ShannyES5 points1y ago
Looks like my schedule and this is my second job.
They’re gonna fuck around and find out though that I may actually enjoy one day a week and find supplemental hours elsewhere for more money anyway. So 🤷🏼♀️
3.5 years is a pretty solid run anyway.
ViAmplify2 points1y ago
we closed 40 minutes late because of the cuts, because we were understaffed most of the day 😃
Puzzled-Muffin-392 points1y ago
I get 12 hours a week sometimes 18 if I’m lucky but only because I get scheduled outside my availability and I end up taking it because I have to pay the bills and it’s not fair for me to have to sacrifice that just to afford to live 😭
greenChainsaws2 points1y ago
damn and i thought i had it bad with 7.5 hours for the week
TarantulaTeeth132 points1y ago
Call around to other stores and see if anyone needs shifts covered. I went to the stores I could easily get to and left my information with the SM and it has helped when I needed it in the past.
gilbasrevenge1 points1y ago
Question I live on a state border so if I do this should I stick to the stores in my home state or can I cross the line lol
TarantulaTeeth131 points1y ago
I would say it depends on which state. I live in Nevada on the border of California and with the different tax and no tax stuff, I tend to not even look in California. But if you stay under a certain amount of hours per year then it shouldn’t be an issue?
maddawgg7102 points1y ago
I’m thankful to even be getting 23-27 hours 😭
luckycat4442 points1y ago
Hi c: what app is this??
RedKamo2 points1y ago
SBUXPartnerHrs
maddawgg7101 points1y ago
I believe this app is when I work. But some places use a different app to post the schedule on
[deleted]1 points1y ago
wow, i thought my 24-29 hrs was awful 😬
drowninginristretto1 points1y ago
ULP!! This is why we organise!
Lamlot1 points1y ago
Check out manufacturing jobs they pay well and Starbucks can be a good lead in for it. I did it and make 7 an hour more.
ScoutPrincessRini1 points1y ago
Hugs to you and the other Starbucks works.
Minute-General-20901 points1y ago
same here lol and I don't even work at a corporate place 💀
Electrical_Metal_1061 points1y ago
You can file for supplemental unemployment. Look up what your state offers. Supposedly we’re getting hours back in April. We will see.
marvelmanda1 points1y ago
I do doordash as my second job.
gingerpirate141 points1y ago
This was a corporate thing. My SM said that he had to cut labor like crazy for the month of March. He even had to cut his own amount of admin hours to make up for the floor coverage for both himself and the ASM. Hopefully it should level out in April.
Meggilli911 points1y ago
Pimp yourself out to all the other stores in your area. You may have some luck grabbing random shifts
