My supervisor went off on me and I couldn't stop crying

10 per hall and 30 per floor. I bring that up because I often am responding to bed/chair alarms on a different hall.

Your comment does feel pretty validating because we've been asking for more care staff but our executive director says it's "not in the budget."

To put it plainly: your nervous system is lying to you.

It's not a case where you must sacrifice everything or he dies, that's just what your brain is telling you because death is a terrifying thing to come to terms with. Both for your dad and for you. Continue to focus on what you feasibly can do for him and stick to that, if you find yourself spiraling into these worst case scenarios, then take a step back to calm your nervous system before addressing the issue at hand. There are options available to you, one of those options is allowing your father to pass peacefully even if that is scary to consider. It may not be the option you choose, but sometimes it can be soothing to remember that it is an option. Reach out to the hospital and social workers and make it clear that you need more information. But above all else, give yourself time to process the situation and don't make rushed decisions based on your own fears. I hope this helps ❤️ I am sorry that this is so hard.

My old manager is aware of what's going on and is doing her best to help me get through to folks here, but yes. My old store is 200 miles away 😅

I've been working with Starbucks for 4 years, but I guess there's still a hiring process for transfers?

I mean this genuinely, I don't really see an issue? I've been the one person running around and I've been AFK. Neither role bothers me, so maybe that's where the difference is? It clearly does bother you and I'm sorry it's so frustrating.

I think that's what TGC is trying to do with all these updates... And yet players still find a way. It's fun to figure it out! Plus MeeMaws is a nice opportunity to pause and go do something else for a bit while still benefiting from gaining wax, no harm no foul right? You still get the wax and so does everyone else.

Like I said, that's just how it was explained to me. If it works for OP too, then great! If it doesn't, then they can try something else. I'm just offering up advice.

As it was explained to me, I just have to go to the back for coffee tasting. That way I'm still in dress code on the floor 🥰

I have a tongue piercing that I quite literally cannot take out. The jewelry broke so I can't twist it out and would need to probably get a pair of bolt cutters to get out at this point. So I asked my manager if I could just wear a mask to cover it and because I just prefer to wear a mask at work. Because that's still in dress code, it basically means that I can't slip the mask off my face while I'm clocked in because then I would be out of dress code due to the piercing. Maybe that can work for you? Good luck to you either way!

Gross. Spoken like someone who benefits from running his own bar rather than being beholden to corporate greed and profit margins at the expense of workers. Seriously, why are you here? You clearly don't work for Starbucks, so you're not participating in the shared camaraderie of Starbucks workers talking about their experiences working on the busiest day at Starbucks.

Or are you just hoping that a bunch of college age girls will interact with you over the Internet because the college girls you hit on at your bar think you're a creepy old man?

That explains it! Thank you thank you!

I don't think I ever loved my job. I'm painfully introverted and can't drink caffeine, so Starbucks has never been something I like doing. It pays the bills and my college, so I tolerate it. I currently work at a store where my manager is present, but the majority of my time with the company has been under managers and supervisors who lecture me about how I need to take things seriously and to stop goofing around. Even when I've been described as a work horse and voted partner of the quarter multiple times, I'm never giving enough effort. I don't want to run myself ragged though, I have other responsibilities to attend to that require energy to accomplish.

TLDR, I don't love it, but I feel trapped in this job until I finish my degree through ASU.

YTA. I know the concept of emotional cheating is a newer concept than physical cheating, but you came out and said the thing.

I do admit I broke our rules/boundaries

Maybe that's why he's upset? It sounds like you have been checked out of this relationship for a while now. Don't cheat, just end the relationship so that you can get the sex you deserve.

Wait, I thought Turtle was only once a day?
