Life After Starbucks? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Brilliant_List7381
3200xxxx here. This job has sucked all of the life out of me over this last year or so of employment. I became a shift around 9-10 ish months after being hired, and i really, really put my heart and soul into my job. i loved starbucks, i love the people, coffee, our regulars- but its become too much. I was even looking at developing into an SM, too, but then the shitshow happened and now we’ve got call offs every other day and have had to run 2 part i think four times in just the last month or so. Im drained, almost every shift i’ve had call offs for (and even a few other days) ive broke down into tears in the BOH/the bathrooms over all of the stress.
My question for all of the ex partners- how did you let go of starbucks? what job did you go to after? Im so lost on what i want to do OTHER than make coffee (besides the field im studying for that requires me to finish a degree first) and i just don’t know what steps to take now.

Fellow 320 here, or former, I guess.
I "called in sick" for two days just to apply other places, I "called in sick" the day I had my interview, and then made sure to turn in my two weeks notice on a day where because of how I was scheduled, it was technically a one week notice (make sure you post the last day of those "two weeks", even if you're not scheduled for that day.)
Life after the siren is great. I got the hell out of food service. My new job, although not easier is definitely a lot less aggravating/stressful. I make more than SSV pay without having to clock in every day hating my life.
There are going to be a lot of people who will beg for your ass in their door. Promote yourself to a job that doesn't suck.

Thank you so much for your response! Also, that’s honestly a really good idea- might have to steal that from you😂. I’ve been really hoping to run away from food service, but don’t have a degree yet, so i’ve felt a little disheartened seeing so many non retail/non food work jobs want at least some kind of degree minimum🥲 Where did you start when you looked for jobs? I’m just on indeed, but if you know of any other platforms that will help me out im all ears!
