How to ask for more hours with a stubborn manager (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by VentiCupOfIce
My manager tends to talk in circles when I ask for more hours, or longer working days. My shifts are usually 4 hours. I am unsure if my hours are being cut because of the holidays or being the end of the year. It seems odd though that people who are friendly with my manager have remained at 8 hour shifts and people he tends to raise issues with have been cut in half. 🤔 I’m unsure how to ask him questions about more hours without having a pointless conversation??? I’m super confused as to what to do. Any help would be nice.

Literally everyone’s hours in the company are being cut right now. It’s not your manager

Including SMs. Our store non coverage budgets have been cut by 30-40%. Which may not seem to impact baristas until you realize the company expects us to now be coverage during those hours that used to be non cov. Yet all the non cov tasks still need to be done. (Clean play, order receive, tips, truck, scheduling, meeting, conference calls, 1:1s, etc)
That’s when we get to exploit salaried store managers in to working 60-70 hour weeks and working hours that should be going to baristas and shifts.
These cuts starting being announced the Friday after red cup day /red cup rebellion day another round of cuts were announced the Wednesday afternoon before thanksgiving. And another the Friday afternoon before the last weekend before Christmas.
This isn’t normal January business slowdown cuts.
