18, Pregnant and thinking about going back to the Siren. Someone tell me I'm crazy so I won't😂 (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by tinyxpxnda
Hey y'all! So I'm 18, currently 4 almost 5 months pregnant and due in the middle of May. I was a barista at a store in the next town over from where I lived but quit bc 1. Management was terrible. Examples: Not getting breaks until 4+ hours into shifts, Not getting a lunch all together, hours getting cut out of retaliation, etc. 2. Overworked. 3. Taking the bus an hour back and forth between work and home was getting hard (Long windy roads that make you sick.) However, I have recently moved towns and there are three Starbucks around me with openings and I'm really considering it. My fiance and I walked into one the other day and it honestly just made me miss working so much, I loved my job. So would I really be that crazy to reapply and try to come back maybe just part time?

Edit: info to add

Honestly there are many other jobs where you are able to sit (reception or other call related jobs) that will treat you better. As a 5 year partner, I probably wouldn’t unless you love Starbucks that much

you’d be in a load of pain honestly. I’m 22 and have never felt this much pain. and it hasn’t really changed in most stores. thats why the unionizing effort has been so big. if anything its likely gotten worse than what it was when you worked.

Started working at the bux when a partner was pregnant, constantly only doing dishes & complaining about how much she hurt. It sounds like a miserable job for that timespan
