Is my SM allowed to cut my hours for no reason? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Special-Fee-3558
Last night, I checked for me new weekly schedule posted and I saw my hours been cut from 20 hours a week to 4 hours a week. My SM didn’t gave me any notice or warning about cutting my hours. Although, my SM is hiring. Can my SM do that?

cutting hours as retaliation is illegal


cutting hours evenly to meet business needs (such as hitting target labor numbers) is ok


16 hour difference is quite a lot and would be worth talking to your sm about

Is it possible the schedule isn’t finished yet? I’ve seen them post days separately before

Did u talk to them first?

I haven’t talked to him yet, but I will next time I work with him to find out what’s going on because it’s unusual for someone’s hours to be reduced over 50% of the average weekly hours.

Yes please do. I assume you two have a decent time relationship, just ask right away.

I see alot of people coming here to ask questions instead of just talking to their SM. I'm not like that. I want answers asap lol

it could also be a mistake. my SM has both scheduled me 7 days a week…and 1 day a week. I asked her about it both times and she forgot to edit it. hopefully it’s just that and not your sm screwing you over :/

That’s very extreme. Seems like silent firing honestly. Why tho? Speak to them first.
