i hate my job (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by supersanielle
i’ve been a partner for a little over half a year. i started to get the scap benefit so that i wouldn’t have to worry about paying tuition. my coworkers are all lovely for the most part and the customers aren’t horrible, but being at work makes me feel terrible and i dread going into each shift. being there makes me feel like i’m incompetent, especially since i work a lot with one of our stricter ssv’s. one of our openers just left so my sm is essentially making me her replacement, and the opening shifts are chipping away at my mental health. i am so exhausted all the time (i’ve always struggled with sleep) and the added stress of being in more intensive summer classes actually makes me feel suicidal. i’ve tried changing my availability so that i could have more stability but my sm told me that i don’t get to say no. i’m considering transferring, but my store is super close to my house and i’m close with a few of my coworkers. i’d also love to quit but i can’t because i need tuition coverage. i feel like i’m going crazy, which is probably because i’m so tired and i just needed to vent this out :((

what do they mean you don't get to say no? your availability is whatever you say it is. don't let them walk all over you. definitely look into transferring if you need to!

technically availability is a suggestion. they dont have to follow it and they dont have to transfer you. the sm can just fire OP.

Um WHAT? The availability is NOT your SM decision to make. Yes change your availability. You should also speak to your district manager (and watch how scared your store manager will get). No one should hate going into work let alone let it affect your mental health so drastically. Dont quit if its helping with tuition and benefits just yet. If its possible to transfer over to a new store, put in a request tomorrow.
