Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

hostile work environment (grande rant) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by geogrokat
we got a new GM a few months ago and at first, I thought everyone just missed our old GM and was reluctant to accept change. I started to warm up to her and kinda forgot about how I felt before. She's a lot more "corporate" in the sense that she will defend anything and everything that the company does. She's really hard on us about doing things by the book, but rarely comes on the floor to help and usually makes our jobs harder should she actually come out.

I recently found out (along with everyone else at the store) that shes been saying awful things about our shift managers (who we all adore) and other baristas. She also has openly admitted to lying. She makes herself cry on command when she wants the attention diverted to her. No one can trust her and we all want her gone.

I heard that shes under investigation and I know our DM knows, but it feels like its taking forever. I hate going to work knowing she'll be there. I try my best to avoid her but she acts like she did nothing wrong. She's the type to fire us, too. She already drove one shift to quit, which she openly admitted to doing. But I love everyone else I work with. We just want her gone.

This sounds word for word like my store. I'm a recent hire and it's making things difficult for me to get accustomed to the work environment and wanna show up. Sorry you're going thru this

Glad to know I'm not alone. It just sucks because she's bringing morale down so bad.

Our gm and dm are dicks total bootlickers like I get it you haaaave to be. But you don’t have to be rude af. I haaate when the dm comes in cos she hates me and I’m pretty sure she’s transphobic cos I do everything right so what else could it be? Plus she misgendered me and I have a full ass beard, a flat chest and try my hardest to talk in a deep voice. she is hardly ever there except for shift meetings. But when she is and I’m working I wanna die

Except they don't have to be. Our old GM was so good, I miss her daily.
