Im a 26***** partner and recently came back to starbucks as a supervisor after leaving for half a year and its so stressful now. My new store in a different district is super strict and constantly threatening write ups.

I came in for my shift yesterday after being told I'm not allowed to call off and I literally couldn't drive to work because I felt so sick. I had to get my fiance to drive me and he has a WFH job for a big company, so I'm stressed out being sick and having to take him away from working just to get to work.

The whole time I was at work, I felt nauseous and had my fellow partners commenting that I look really sick. I was thrown on bar for 90% of my shift and then forced to stay late to do a pull that was not my pull and stayed an extra 30 minutes. 🙃 And technically I was failing the Covid check since I had symptoms of fever and was so nauseous that I would almost throw up. I would be in the bathroom gagging. I got told it wasn't that bad and they needed me to be coverage.

I came in today for my shift still feeling like shit and don't even bother communicating how I feel since I know that ill get sass. I go on my lunch after 5 hours and had a drink since I still feel shitty, and ended up throwing up and couldn't breathe. I tell my manager on the floor and get told I need to find coverage. I try calling 14 different starbucks stores and wasn't able to find coverage for such short notice.

They try to put me back on the floor and I refused since hello, I threw up and thats fucking illegal and gross. I get guilt tripped that I have to find coverage for tomorrow. I try asking my store manager about what happens if I can not find coverage since I was supposed to open, its before the 24 hours would be up and I just get sassed that i HAVE to get coverage. I honestly think im going to get written up and will probably have to call partner resources.

This store is not anything like my original store and district and I dont feel like any of the partners are treated with respect or empathy. When we try saying we need support or need a break from a position, we get told that "what support could we need" and "dont even bother asking to turn off mobile orders because the answer will never be yes" when we're overwhelmed.

I want to cry when I'm home sick and I scared when I have to contact my store manager that I couldn't find coverage because let's be real here, there is 0% chance someone will pick up a shift with less than 24 hour notice for a Saturday.

Thanks for reading my venti rant 🙃🙃🙃 I really need to transfer stores
