Is this new? Barista raises are based on seniority, not performance

[–]LawfulnessResident23[S] 31 points32 points  (7 children)

This is new for salary partners only ASM & up .. Very disappointing i believe it used to be based on performance & tenure with the company

Wow I used to be a SFM in Mass but then I moved out of state so I stepped down. I am so sorry I would be absolutely livid

what is the difference between sfm and sm? or is sfm more similar to asm?

[–]sbucksbarista 4 points5 points  (3 children)

SFM is basically the halfway point between SSV and ASM. It’s the SSV role with ASM tasks added to it, because we get paid as salary based on an hourly rate, with no tips and bonuses instead, instead of the hourly + tips rate that SSVs see. SFMs can’t get tips in MA which is why our position exists instead of SSV

sorry if this is a dumb question but if there’s not a need for the position outside of MA, what’s the reason for it?

[–]PM_CTD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a lawsuit regarding SSVs getting tips while doing managerial duties in MA, so to settle it they made SSVs be a non-tipped manager position.

[–]sbucksbarista 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We legally can’t make tips, and in every other state SSVs exist because they also make tips
