Man, okay so I have been with Starbucks for well over a year, and I finally had to call it quits. This job has TANKED my mental health and I was getting panic attacks every day before work because of how the management treated me, getting called off of bar to be told I look “bitchy”, forced LOA and my last of my vacation pay where she threatened to demote me if I disnt take an LOA, humiliated me in front of other staff, constantly argued with customers and I feel as though I wasn’t properly set up for success in any way shape or form and when I needed guidance it was met with resistance or half answers. Walking into work every day to be reminded you are shit at your job gets exhausting even though she never gave any clear guidance on “what I was doing wrong” just “you’re bad at your job, do better” but never met with where I could improve.
Anyway, I just received a job offer else where and gave my two weeks in which my manager cancelled my last 2 weeks of work. I am so happy now that I never have to step foot in that building again.
I feel so disappointed with how this company is ran, before I worked for Starbucks I genuinely believed that I would never get sick of Starbucks, I went to Seattle specifically to see the reserve store and Pike Place Market. I was so looking forward to having a career out of this and moving up, but not only have they lost an employee they have also lost a very loyal customer.
