if you read my other post from a few days ago, you get what's going on (long story short: getting discriminated at work).
found out today my manager texted all starbucks nearby me that i cannot pick up shifts at other stores (literally after i picked up a shift at another store yesterday) because i am "not pleasant to work with."
my friend sent me the email.
today i was supposed to work at another store, but i was done and i quit. here was my message:
-
I am not going to make it to this shift. I just got informed that one of you have contacted the Starbucks stores around us that i can no longer take shifts at those stores because i am on "corrective action." those stores i picked up shifts at were the only way i was able to make money and receive hours because no one at my home store gave me hours to work.
i officially quit Starbucks. i have gotten disrespected, left out and discriminated since i started working here for no reason. multiple shift supervisors were rude and passive aggressive towards me every-time i took shifts with them, and obviously didn't enjoy me there.
everytime i came into work, there were complaints about me, about my work that i am constantly doing something wrong, when everyone around me would be doing the same thing. i have been talked behind my back by not only my coworkers, which we are supposed to be called a "family," but by one of you as well. it has gotten to a point where multiple people have told me about the things they say behind my back.
i have been left out and called out on purpose, and now written up on the "correction sheet." i apparently was a frustrating person to 2 shift supervisors and one manager because i was "not putting on a happy face to come to work." i was not talkative enough to come into work.
there comes a point where enough is enough and i have gotten so much backlash from this place and today was the last straw for me. i am not a frustrating person because i am introverted. i am not talkative to my coworkers because they are disrespectful people who have left me out since day one. how could you expect me to feel like a "partner" at this store when it's all just a clique?
i have committed my best to work as a Starbucks partner, loving every minute of it. If me, as a partner, not engaging with my coworkers in personal conversations i’m not interested in taking part of because i focus more on serving customers, making drinks and being the starbucks partner i’m supposed to do, then the problem lies within you as managers and the problem with favouritism with specific partners.
It hasn’t been the first time a partner has quit or transferred stores because of this unfair treatment, and it won’t be the last one either. I’m afraid i can’t be a part of unfair treatment, discrimination and disrespect.
