My SM is sort of a hot mess. It started with her not respecting people's availability slots and other small things. A handful of old shifts and baristas either moved or quit due to disagreements with our SM . Our SM then waited until way too late to start hiring new people. Our store is FILLED with new beans, there are nore people training than there are experienced partners, plus with the understaffing many partners want to leave. Understandably, many partners want to transfer locations but SM straight up denies transfer requests. Recently, my car's engine died and it costs 3 grand (minimum) to get a new one. I cant afford to buy a new car or engine so I told my SM I need to transfer to a store location that I can walk to. SM proceeds to tell me about vague benefits with bus passes and that i cant transfer after the summer. I really couldn't believe she essentially told me to take the bus, it would be a 2.5 hour commute. The DM got involved and allowed me to start the process for transferring but I can't believe the DM had to pull her arm to let me transfer.
