New CEO is now barista-certified (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Nachos_are_Great
I was reading today that Laxman recently completed his four weeks of training to get barista certified. Good for him, but honestly just sounds like a PR stunt. Also, four weeks of training? Damn! Last time I trained somebody I think officially you only have 24 hours of training if you went thru the different modules/blocks. This might not be true anymore and also I was a Canadian partner (might be different from US). It definitely was never four weeks of training. Lol. Anybody here works at the store he was training at? Thoughts?

It’s pretty standard for management-level external-hires to go through 2 “weeks” of barista followed by 2 more weeks of SSV training before beginning higher level management training. The new barista training plans are 40 hrs long, so it’s basically a week of training and then a week of actually doing it.

current trainer in az- new baristas are given, iirc, 46 hours of training, some of which is practice shifts(not coverage, but not directly with a trainer.) managers can break it down however they want though, so my first trainee i did with that we did it 10 days in two weeks. my next trainee, its over 6 days, 3 each week. so yeah. even with the new training, its not four weeks. unless he did like 2 days a week

Honestly, I’m sort of glad he did it. I’m just gonna wait and see if he gets out on the floor and works a day on the floor. As the CEO it’d be the best thing to do for understanding his employees’ situations.

I didn't even have 4 weeks to train as a barista and shift all at the same time.
Fuck this guy.

I never got trained and neither did a pretty significant amount of the partners at my store, just too busy
