A friend of mine was recently fired for the reason of simply "Partner Bev-ing" a drink for a another friend. But, it was almost a full month after the "event" that she was terminated without warning. When the event happened her assistant manager went to her, talked to her about it, and told her never to do it again. She didn't. But, as said, she was fired about month after with that "event" being the reason.
Is there anything that she can do to keep her job if she so wanted?
basically they can lie and say they were "investigating" and they are of the hook, if they want to fire someone for being ugly they can, they obviously wont say thats why but as long as its not for race,religion,sex orientation or disability they can even if its the first offense.
They are not supposed to be able to fire you unless they first write you up. The first offense is supposed to get you a 'verbal' The second offense get you 'written up'. Then takes a third offense and a write up before you are actually terminated.
The only thing that should warrant termination on the spot is theft. I suppose that they could technically consider what you did stealing but that is a stretch. Even so it should not have taken them a month to make a decision. If I were your friend I would take the matter to the DM.
^ what you describe is sbux policy BUT they are not supposed to they can fire on the spot for anything, legally at least.
Does anyone know what information Starbucks discloses on the Work Number for future employers?
What's the work number? I'd like to know too god knows what kind of propaganda they'll say after you quit
"the work number" is the job line that any future employers will call about your time with Starbucks after you leave Starbucks. It's there version of employment verification that they have sourced to a third party. I called the company myself and was told that they do not mention how you left the company; just when you were with the company and how much you were paid... I wasn't sure if anyone had had any experience with it though...
What's the actual number- I'd like to call it myself
She could go to the labour board about it. Basically, everyone partner bevs their friends. She should claim that they singled out her violation on the basis of some protected feature, such as race, religion, etc. It would be a pretty good way to **** your management. And Starbucks corporate would probably rehire her just to shut her up.
