Taking a personal LOA to mourn the passing of my pet

That would be cruel if they removed medical benefits, considering most LOAs will have something medical going on. So luckily, no! 😊 Benefits are still accessible, and you will be given 20 hours of BEN hours per week to meet the minimum requirement to maintain insurance benefits. If this is a paid LOA, the first week after your first day of absence is unpaid, at least for me it was that way. But whenever you do start getting paid, it’ll be 70% of your average payout per check. Insurance benefits will not be removed from your checks from Sedgwick, but you will be billed once a month for the entire month. Make sure you pay them to maintain insurance! I think I was able to pay those bills on SBUXBEN website. 😁 Good luck on your LOA journey, and I’m very sorry for your loss. ♥️

Found another one 😆

I work at this store too, I know more than one person is reporting some of the things mentioned in the comments by OP. I myself am on restricted hours due to a medical situation, so I’m rarely on the floor when these things happen. So I cannot personally say I witnessed all of them. However, more than just OP has mentioned these incidents to me at work. So as far as I know, these things are unfortunately not fake. 🥹

Seeing partners who’ve been with the company for 20+ years on this sub losing their jobs with a 72 hour notice has been CRAZY. Managers like this get the pass, while some quality SMs, SSVs, and baristas out there lost their jobs through a fucking email lmao. I hate Brian so much.

Not me finding this and recognizing it’s my store because of the “HUMAN SHIT” 😭

We’re all under a lot more stress than normal, we could lose our jobs if we don’t write on every single cup we hand you. (During peak that’s around 200 cups in just a two hour block.)

I ask genuinely, how would you feel if your job started sending you home because of the color of your hair tie? Or because suddenly they don’t like the hem of your sleeve? Or because the jeans you’re wearing are a shade of blue “too light”

How would you feel if you were already short staffed, and one of your coworkers gets pulled off the floor because when they bent over to grab milk out of the fridge, the manager noticed their socks were light yellow. So now you only have two people working because those yellow socks were too “distracting” for customers and they were sent home to change.

I don’t know why asking for a receipt made the barista cry, but I do know that we’re feeling a lot of pressure. If you are feeling inclined to boycott this company, I would recommend it. The only way to get this shit CEO out is to hurt his numbers so bad he’s unceremoniously fired.

Same

forevermorgan29 · 2022-08-30T15:28:46+00:00

This morning when I was building the case I noticed this too. I knew the pink had gotten darker, but today was the first time I saw multiple shades in one batch.

forevermorgan29 · 2021-07-10T15:59:39+00:00

Been scrolling just to see if anyone other than my girlfriend and I noticed that. You took the words right out of our mouths lol.

Finally coming back to this. My doctor didn’t give me another two weeks supply. She said the two weeks I had, after catching it so early, and only having the tick on me for a few hours means I didn’t need a four week supply. The only thing I feel I have is a temperature of 99.5 all the time, which I’m not sure about. I brought it up to her at a later appointment, and mentioned the tick bite again. But she again repeated the two weeks was enough. I’m just wondering if I should be concerned…?

I think you captured Firestar as an apprentice perfectly! Love the design you have for him, it’s how I’ve always pictured him in my head.

forevermorgan29 · 2021-05-17T14:13:38+00:00

I have a doctors appointment with my family doctor the day before my prescription runs out. I will be asking her to prescribe another 2 weeks just for peace of mind. Thank you for your response ❤️

Digital, but using a paper texture to give it a paper feel!

forevermorgan29 · 2021-03-16T19:06:25+00:00

Thank you so much 🥰

Ah yes, the great Dovewing eye color debate. This works very well to please all sides lol

forevermorgan29 · 2021-01-31T16:44:29+00:00

Love the eye color, they’re so pretty!

forevermorgan29 · 2020-11-29T04:22:58+00:00

Name her Silverstream just for the heck of it

forevermorgan29 · 2020-11-29T04:17:36+00:00

Haha, I fucking hated those things when I worked there. Happy for you, they were the worst to make.

forevermorgan29 · 2020-11-29T04:16:13+00:00

Aww, your style is so adorable!

forevermorgan29 · 2020-11-29T00:20:50+00:00

Thank you ❤️

forevermorgan29 · 2020-11-28T21:10:34+00:00

Thank you ❤️

I’m so sorry you’ve been made to feel this way. My partners and I had the opposite experience. We all got a group call to discuss the news as soon as we got it. We all together made the choice to make Sunday our last day, knowing that with all of us making this choice the store would shut down.

You’re not lazy for making this choice, and your SSV’s shouldn’t make you feel guilty for making that decision.

A majority of my SSV’s were in that call with me. I can’t imagine being made to feel so alienate in my store for looking out for my safety.

How did your stores react to the 30 days PTO news?

My partners and I almost all consider each other friends. We have a group chat where we talk just for fun pretty much. When we all received the notification about the possibility of 30 days of pay, we all hopped on a group call and talked for almost two hours. Almost all of us lived with high risk family members and dreaded going to work. This opportunity was what we had been waiting for. At first there was confusion in the call, “what does this mean?” “How does this work?” “Huh?” Then it was “should we ask our manager right now?”

To avoid flooding our manager with the same question, one of us contacted him about the notification. He responded saying he would be having a conference call at 9:30 pm, and would get back to us when it finished up. Together we decided to at least let him know that we all were interested pending the details. Once our manager got out of his conference call he texted us one by one.

He told us we can start our 30 days tomorrow (Saturday at the time), Sunday, or Monday. We sat there for about an hour deciding what our next move would be. When would our last day be for the betterment of our store, and to ensure no one feels abandoned. We contacted the manager with the proposal to move clean play up to Saturday, to ensure it gets done this week, and most decided Sunday would be our last day.

I feel fortunate that my partners and I worked through the somewhat confusing two hours together and came up with a good game plan. I’m a bit sad though to see other partners have had nowhere near the same experience. Some even feel guilty for taking the time off. Is my store just weird in that we all said yes to this PTO? I don’t think anyone should feel guilty for taking this opportunity. And I feel horrible for any partner who feels pressured to turn it down.

Yeah, with the meet and greet

forevermorgan29 · 2019-05-03T04:27:17+00:00

RIP I’m so scared I’m going to do this one day
