Got gaslit by my manager (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ZestycloseRate7330
So yesterday my manager who was the shift in charge, told me at 11am to take a lunch at 1:30pm. But she wasn’t really running the floor. It was a busy day and ended up meal violating by like an hour. She then said it was my fault cause she told me at 11am when to go on lunch. IS IT NOT THE SHIFT IN CHARGES JOB TO BREAK US?! I am not a shift nor am in charge so how is this my fault? Can someone please tell me where I can find the duties of a shift lead so I can show my manager and DM? Like I’m so confused and why am I being gaslit for something that’s not my fault🤔🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Jeez sounds like my old SM. Not your fault. Can't wear watches or constantly check time when I'm task. Shifts job to tell you when to break.
(They tell you when to go home even tho you know that time too. )

You can find the job description on the partner hub, I believe. It might be in the careers section.

Telling someone when they will be getting their lunch isn’t the same thing as giving them their lunch. It is the shift’s responsibility to ensure that breaks are happening at the right time. So, your manager should have checked in at 1:30 to see if you were headed to lunch and they should have also designated who was covering your spot while you were on lunch.

I know for a fact it is the literal shift’s job to tell you when to break and when to go home at the actual time of both. I have this shift i love -hes so sassy- and when he tells me to go on break or go home i end up replying with smth like i knooww, or you already told me, he always says that its his job. sometimes he also likes to add that it’s literally in his (a shift’s) job description.
