Fuck all that, soooooo happy Im not a barista. Fuck you Starbucks on University Ave in las cruces New Mexico. We’re not truly “partners” as they try to brainwash us with.

My last paycheck was $385! That’s barely enough to cover one bill 🙃

Hey, partners! I work at one of the Starbucks in Chicago that just filed to unionize! We have also had terrible hour cuts and I was directed to a law firm in Seattle who is putting together a lawsuit against Starbucks for these massive hour cuts country wide. For anyone interested in the info feel free to reach out and I could put you in touch! Their main goal is to get representation from every state!

I have 17 hours this week, I’m used to 35-38 🥲 Tomorrow I’m only scheduled for 2 hours

They’ve been cutting hours everywhere. And I’m sure they’re still ALSO using the “labor shortage” as a convenient excuse. All the stores in my area are still closing early, BUT baristas aren’t getting hours. And yet I’m still hearing all this nonsense about how “nobody wants to work.”

That’s like one shift to me… I’d jump ship! Save yourself.

I got 9 hours this week :)

Asked my managers for extra hours because I couldn’t survive on these , she told me she was using her own hours for partners , grateful but the hour cutting with Starbucks has been happening for months and I can’t do it anymore .. second job here I come

bro i hate this company so much

Yeah I’m less than 20 hours this week and looking forward to having my power shut off 🥰

I'm 17 and my manager gives me more hours than some of my adult coworkers half the time

30 hours open availability is pretty limited 😬 hopefully you can find shifts to cover

Best thing you can do for yourself is ask other stores if they need shifts covered. I’ve also heard there’s Facebook groups you can join for Starbucks where people from different stores in your area can posts shifts. Ended up doing this myself & transferred to a store where I can actually make a living. Hope this helps, much love💚

File for partial unemployment. Check your states laws !! Game changer.

I’d die

Always remember: corporations good, unions bad. (sarc)

im a ssv and i normally work 25 hrs a week...next week im literally working 13.5 hrs and the week after that? 20 🙃🙃 good thing i have sick time to fill in the gaps but still jfc

I'm down to 1 shift every other week lately. However next week i have 2! I'm quitting lol fuck dis

Mine paycheck was for 10 hrs for 2 weeks! I’m so behind & broke

Wanna take my Wednesday shift lmao

:D have fun not being able to afford to boil water to eat the ramen u cant afford because starbucks doesnt want to pay us

UNIONIZE

currently on maternity leave 🙃 but up until the day I gave birth I was scheduled 24 hrs. back to my other job i go

I have a question for you all…. My hours were cut from 27 to 21. I’m bummed but thankful it won’t cause me to lose my health insurance. What are you all doing if you have health insurance thru bux? I would think they have to give you 20 hours to maintain it. I’ve been mad about the cuts but these posts I’m floored people are getting 1/2 what I am ☠️

I am currently refusing to patronize Starbucks because of this. Sure, they will still make money from other customers, but in this real estate market with this level of inflation, this is literally starving their workers. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a mass walkout/quitting event. Workers are finite

You were paying rent before ? Where you at 😭 Cali prices to high

My store is about to get a renovation so the stores I said I could get borrowed to haven't scheduled me so I'm relying on people that need shifts to be covered atm, so I have 21 this week but next week I have 0 then 4 hours

my manager literally scheduled me for 3 hours one week… when it come down to it most of my hours are just from picking up shifts from my partners and nearby stores

I heard from a shift its because of the stores that are Unionizing that theyre trying to strike back

[removed]

even as a shift, when we had 6 shifts i got half the hours im used to, and i only now have more hours bc 3 shifts quit/left within a few weeks

Genuine question in the midst of this labor cut: Do manager hours count for labor? 🤔

I’m a shift and was burnt out working 40 hours, so I asked for 30. This week I’m scheduled TWENTY plus a one hour shift meeting. i’m so frustrated and there’s literally nothing anyone can do about it

I hate seeing all this online. I couldn’t imagine being in a store that is doing that. My SM talks about labor being tight and not staying over even if we are busy, but that’s kinda it. The shifts get 30+ and almost all the baristas are at 20-24 ish. A couple people have less, but they are minors or only work weekends. I asked for more hours and my SM sent me open shifts at the stores within like 10 minutes of us to see if I wanted to pick anything up. Like this is how it’s supposed to work, right? I feel like all I read online is horror stories. I don’t want to land in a store like that.

I'm so sorry to my fellow baristas that are going through this. I have always wanted to work at a corporate store, but now I am grateful that I work for a licensed store.

I am finally getting my usual hours after quitting school so that I could get more hours to pay my rent.

im almost 17 so ik i dont need as many hours as people who have to pay rent and phone bills etc, but i still need to save up for a car and college and i cant do that when i make <$250 every other week

Is this not against fair work week??

I’m in Western WA, and my store has filed to unionise. Our ballots go out on the 8th. If you’re in the PNW and you think your store is pro-union, hmu!

question for us partners - do y’all not have guaranteed labor hours written into your contracts?

This is exactly why I had to quit. They removed 5 shift from my schedule without a word to me. And as a full time employee who was already only getting 20 hours a week, that was it. Fuck Cheshire Starbucks

Please see if you can apply for food stamps, partial unemployment etc etc. I’m so sorry this is happening or if you want use vacation time to supplement your pay. I know you shouldn’t have to do any of this though

Wait omg that’s my normal <3 and I begged for more hours and all I got was “sorry. There’s no more hours”

talked to my ASM 3 times about my schedule, every time he said he would change it and instead he didn’t change a single thing. when i called him out on it he asked me to come in 30 minutes early to talk about it and told me there was an hour shortage and that every time people message him about the schedule he feels bad. wasted my fucking time over something that could’ve been a text. i would’ve rather just been on the floor. i just keep accidentally coming in early and accidentally staying late bc it’s all i can do.

That union keeps looking better and better

Ugh... I hate when I keep hearing and seeing this. The new quarter starts soon, so hopefully more hours soon?

I’m picking up shifts just to be okay😢 I’ll be at my Starbucks 7 days this week yayyyy

im in a similar situation, constantly being scheduled 12-14 hrs a week but i have my availability set to 25hrs and i dont have any days that im unavailable to work so wtf starbucks😐like how am i supposed to pay my car payments, phone, gas (which we all know has been EXPENSIVE) and lunch (bc im a cma student atm also) 5 days during the week?? not to mention my school is a 24 mile drive from my house and its 28 miles from my sbux and thats a lot of gas right there. most of the time i cant even afford to get myself anything to eat so i dont eat. now would be a great time for sbux to bring back the free bev n drink on ur days off🥲

yeah :^) i worked 12 hours last week and 19 the week before and i’m cutting it super close with bills. i’ll barely have enough left over to buy kitty litter and my dogs expensive food PLUS it’s my boyfriends birthday next week and we planned on going to kbbq but now i won’t be able to afford it

Went from 30+ hrs a week, now to this week which is just 8. Next week is only 4 :) I managed to pick up an extra 9 hrs at other stores for the 4 hr week but jfc

I worked 27.5 hours last week and I’m part time, just working to get a little extra spending money and free food/drinks lol. If I actually needed a job to pay bills I’d leave and find something that pays better

Rip

things are getting better, i promise! the hour cuts are almost over but i understand if you need to find another job bc for someone who has bills, this is unacceptable

Starbucks guidelines asks for three times open availability per hours wanted, so for 30 hours you should have 90 flexible hours. Still sucks and is bs but what can you do with a corporation.

Edit: funny how I point out how I think that it’s dumb yet people are so quick to downvote 😂
