This has happened to me before. I then realized the person had a more open availability 🤷🏻‍♀️ js

But if it is preferential treatment, maybe report it to partner resources. But you have to have more evidence than getting more hours than you.

the new partner wouldn’t be able to learn as quickly if they weren’t scheduled more hours. no need to hate on them for getting more hours. hate on the company for making us earn hours instead of just giving us full staffing. everyone deserves the amount of hours they want.

word i get it but u don’t have to be a dick about it. u don’t know what that other partner is going through 🫤

Your anger should be directed to the proper cause, the company. Ik damn well you’ve seen almost dozens of partners in this sub expressing the same situation with the drop in labor hours, and you aren’t aware of the other partner’s situation as well. Could’ve been poorly trained, disabled, etc you just don’t know. No excuse to be a dickhead 🤕

Ppl who just started that used to work with our SM are getting long shifts and a bunch of hours. Ppl who have worked her for over a year are getting 12. I get 4 the week after next because they scheduled me outside of my availability and took it away. Got an interview Tuesday 😁

I see both sides. Frankly non of us here know the true scope of the situation. I can relate to how you’re feeling though. Consider that Starbucks is a minimum wage job for the majority, which (can) imply minimum effort and certainly doesn’t attract the best talent in the world comparatively.

If coaching is not working for you, it becomes an SM problem to deal with. Good luck friend ❤️

so, at my store at least, the partners who use starbucks health insurance are guaranteed at least an average of 20 hours a week. they are prioritized over other people when making the schedule so that they can keep their insurance.

Have you had a one on one with your manager about this? And how it has made you feel? Or just hoping they read your mind and sense your frustration?

Don’t judge someone based off not being able spell cause you don’t know if they suffer from learning disability or English might not be there first language. I personally have a learning disability but struggle with spelling

You really are judging a partner for having poor spelling skills…talk about ableism. I get being frustrated basic skills seem to be lacking and I definitely get being upset that they’re getting more hours, but spelling is not a crucial skill, especially for something like a name. I can spell great but typing on the screens is a pain in the ass and I often don’t bother to correct mistakes because it’s too irritating. Like others said, talk to your manager and find out about getting more hours.

Same

I got fired for putting 2 weeks in this company is garbage you can work at other places and get paid more and enjoy ur job

My manager does this as well. Come to find out partners will come to her and ask for more hours and she’ll give it to them , sometimes cutting other hours without realizing it. Have you tried talking to your manager ? Maybe all you have to do is request more hours 🤷🏽‍♀️

It might just be a oops, the auto scheduler is so stupid. It normally schedules the limited availability people first and then give the remaining shifts to the people with open availability. The opposite that most people would assume. It uses no previous schedules when it makes this stupid schedule. They teach managers to use this especially when the store is going to have changes like the January drop. Talk to your manager and they should fix the problem.

i had 8 hours this week and 14 hrs next week after consistently having 30+ hour weeks :)

Start volunteering at other stores until you find one you really like, and a manager who appreciates you, then transfer.

not everyone can catch on super quickly 🤗 it’s okay! and for them to learn they’ll need more hours/days. I just started (Monday is my 14th day!) and I worked Mon-Fri last week; it was the best thing ever because I literally learned sooo much! It sounds like your coworker may be overwhelmed with starting our, you were new too at one point and it seems like you’ve forgotten how it is to be a newbie :/

no bc my store has 2 borrowed partners using up labor at our store when there’s baristas that work at my store that aren’t getting hours at all. why does a borrower partner need an 11 hour shift when one of our own baristas got cut down to ZERO hours and wants to work??

Off topic but do you get anything for being POQ? Like is there a bonus or anything or is it just like “oh ur cool 😃👍”

this is kinda ableist lol

As someone who has had to work with a “incompetent employee” at my VERY high volume store, I completely understand all of OPs complaints; and everyone who doesn’t is probably that exact partner she is describing or works at a low volume store in comparison. Those type of partners bring down the productivity and vibes because now everyone else has to work that much harder to make up for the slack and that is EXTREMELY annoying and unfair. It doesn’t matter why the partner sucks, they need to just find a better fitting job for them. Everything is not for everyone and that’s okay. Good Luck OP and screw everyone telling you that you are insensitive and mean!!
