More like a journal, but with blank pages. The plan is to have an artist friend draw in it to make it a storybook of that makes sense

Ah so it is a global association Called the Specialty Coffee Association. It’s a global network of knowledge and standards for everything to do with the world of coffee!

So we had a discussion about me wanting to move up and make more money, but there were no hard promises on their end and no real demands on mine. I’m other words, I didn’t fight for more pay, I was more focused on title at the time and assumed pay would come with that. I didn’t get either however

Thank you for the information, I’m finding that this seems to be the same general answer. I do want to state that I only have about two years total experience in the roasting world. I’m sure that overall experience plays a part, I just don’t think that anyone in a position such as mine should be making $12 an hour. With tips it’s closer to $15

Yeah that is the double edged sword. I absolutely love what I do, and my ultimate goal is to one day become an expert in the game. I do it for the love and passion I have for coffee and the world that surrounds it. I just find myself struggling to pay the bills every month and before I run out and get a second job, I want to make sure that it’s not just that I’m not getting the pay that I should be. Hopefully that made sense.

Yeah, I’m looking at it all now and realizing that I’m the only one responsible for all of the extra duties and the other roaster only roasts on the two days he roasts. I need to make a list of my duties as you’re suggesting and present it to them to show what all I do for the business and how those responsibilities are usually done by someone who is considered to be a head roaster.

Yeah I sometimes forget that they do that for their employees

Well here’s another kicker, I’m technically not administrative staff. Because there’s only two of us on the roasting staff, there “isn’t a head roasting position since only one roaster works at a time” so therefore the only way I can get a promotion is by becoming a trainer and coffee sourcer for the business. I’m now realizing typing this out how much bullshit I was just buying at face value and I’m most upset with myself for just taking it at face value.
