I am out due to an on the job injury, and I am recovering from surgery. I got canned via the mail, no one even called me. The thing I am most mad about is that I put money into S.I.P. each paycheck for the last 8yrs excluding this last year because the stocks are down. But now I can never get that $$$ back. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-12224 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:50:04 +0000 meanbean 12224@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>severance and unemployment are better than actually working! don't get a job until the unemployment runs out. paid vacation by the government.

The DM said that a close relationship only ment Sexual. The way the patner handbook states any one that rates on another. The SM and Pet are glued together. The relationship has caused a riff at our store when Pet returned from collage, after 3 months she was given 36 hours the second week, taking hours from others to get her these prime hours. During this conference the SM lied to the DM and said that Pet has only babysat for her a few times and gone to the gym together. Lier, Lier, Lier. Honesty and Integrity, yeah right.</p> <p>There has been an investagation stated with the DM. A questionaiur was given to other partners about our SM. The DM will know the truth soon enough.</p> <p>At this point I don't care if she read's this because she knows they she is wrong. Just covering her own ****. She needs a job too. </p> <p>I love my job because of the customers. Not for the management headshead. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11293 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:13:05 +0000 Starfks 11293@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>student loans baby!

I saw the same thing happen at my last job. We had 4 highly paid DMs in my (somewhere land) area alone. The company downsized to 2 - their salary combined equaled the amount of just one of the previous DM's. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11235 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:50:55 +0000 ilostmyjob 11235@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I WISH ALL PARTNERS THE BEST OF LUCK BECAUSE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET ROUGH! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11234 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:48:13 +0000 ilostmyjob 11234@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I THINK THE DMS ARE NEXT I BET THEY LAY OFF THE LOWER PERFORMERS AND MAKE THE DISTRICTS TWO OR THREE TIMES AS LARGE. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11233 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:46:04 +0000 FarFlung 11233@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>ASMs *may* be offered demotion to Shift Supervisor if there are slots available in their area. Some people are just getting laid off straight because there are no slots open. (also there are store closures coming down the pike shortly - no offical owrd but I am betting that people higher up know and won't move into stores that are closing anyway.) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11231 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:45:09 +0000 ilostmyjob 11231@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>THE REASON THEY ARENT ALLOWING US TO DEMOTE OURSELVES TO BARISTAS OR SHIFTS IS BECAUSE PARTNERS LIKE MY SELF WITH 7 YEARS WOULD BE HIGHLY PAID BARISTAS AND SHIFTS IN THE 13 TO 15 AN HOUR RANGE... WE WERE ENCOURAGED TO RE-APPLY AND START OVER AT THE 8 DOLLARS AND HOUR! I'M SORRY BUT I JUST CAN'T DO THAT. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11230 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:42:54 +0000 babydoll 11230@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>are you an ASM????</p> <p>I guess I assumed that the ASM's would be "demoted" to baristas, not laid off.</p> <p>When Pier One started to go under the newest Shift Lead was demoted to sales associate so the Assistant Managers were demoted to take the open Shift Lead position. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11229 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:42:53 +0000 ilostmyjob 11229@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>THANKS FOR THAT! I MAY COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT BUT I CANT LIVE ON 300 A MONTH! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11227 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:42:05 +0000 sanderson 11227@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'm truly very sorry to hear of your situation. Will you be able to collect unemployment (although I realize that is probably small consolation at this point)? I certainly wish you well and again, I'm sorry to hear that you were laid off. I hope that you find something better than your old position at Starbucks. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=900#post-11224 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:34:17 +0000 ilostmyjob 11224@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>STARBUCKS IS GOING DOWN! I WAS ONE OF THE 870 LAY OFFS!<br /> I HAVE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY 7 YEARS FOR WHAT? THIS?<br /> MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL NO LONGER DRINK STARBUCKS THATS A LOT OF LOST REVUNE OVER THE YEAR. I EVEN READ THAT STARBUCKS MAY BE GOING UP FOR SALE IN THE SPRING. THE COMPANY IS **** ITS TOO LATE! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! THE COMPANY HAS JUST STARTED ITS HUGE LANDSLIDE. WHAT ARE TH EMANAGERS GOING TO DO NOW THAT THEY DONT HAVE ASMS TO BACK THEM UP. WHAT WILL DMS DO WHEN MGRS GO OUT ON STRESS LEAVE WITH NO ASM TO COVER THEM. PLUS 20 PERCENT OF THERE WORKFORCE ARE BARISTAS WHO WORK 2 SHIFTS OR SO A WEEK. THEY WILL BE LOOSING THERE JOBS NEXT MONTH DUE TO SCHEDUEL OPTIMIZATION.<br /> MARK MY WORDS... STARBUCKS IS SCREWED </p>
