calling in sick? (tall rant) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Sharkbird_Jr
today has been the second time ive called into work sick and it hasnt been written down in the book/ communicated with the manager. i have been bedridden the past two days due to a horrible fever and i physically cannot come into work, and the thing i least want to look at after i wake up from a cold medicine induced nap is me being called a no call no show despite me calling in hours prior to my shift so they can find coverage 😭

its just frustrating at this point that its not the first time its happened. is this a problem at other stores? im assuming it has a lot to do with the lack of communication but god is it aggrivating.

Screenshot your call log showing the call details (assuming this was called in via cellphone). It’ll show the number and call duration so they can’t say you didn’t. Are you speaking with the shift on duty when you call..?

i do believe it was the shift on duty on call for the one today

Always make sure you ask for and speak to the shift or an ASM/SM and keep track of who you spoke to. You can’t just speak to a barista and call it a day, it’s not in their job description to handle call outs/find coverage and leads to this sort of situation.

sounds like someone is dropping the ball on communicating IMHO. this doesn't happen regularly to me but once or twice

Show call receipts. If you continue to get “in trouble” contact the DM.
