feeling very sad (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by marilynmansonsbitch
im a 3 year partner, supervisor for 4ish months now. the district ive been in has been kind of not the best since i started, and theres been a lot of issues with the stores ive been at but i really love this job. within the last month, ive had increasing issues with my store and it all came to a head with a situation two weeks ago which made me put my two weeks in. its nearing my final day and im just feeling increasingly sad. i tried so hard for the promotion i got for 2 years, being overlooked by every one of my managers until one of my shifts-turned-sm took a chance and promoted me. then he left and new management came and it just all crashed.

i was looking thru my partner info, looking at all the progress ive made in this company. ive put my all in this company for 3 years to have a new manager come in and take all my hours away and essentially kick me out of my own store. i worked 3 years for a stupid promotion, scrubbing grout lines in the floor, deck brushing for 8 hours, under the nasty cold bar and BOH fridges, i stayed when covid hit instead of taking the leave, i started out making $12 an hour here and worked my way up to $20 just to leave it all behind…the job i had lined up is falling through and im just feeling quite depressed about it all. i reapplied to like 16 different starbucks in my city but out of this district because i just…..i dont know. im just sad and i feel like i fucked up.

Standing by your principles and doing what is best for you in the long run is by no way fucking up. I get that you feel some regret and are a bit insecure about what lies ahead but don't worry it will all work out for the best in the long run. These corporations will chew you up and spit you out one after another after another. If you do not stand up for yourself nobody else is going to. Good luck in your future.... you have a great one.
