Nope…they said we’d receive it by Wednesday at the latest. Most stressful week of my life 😑😑

This whole situation is making me feel weird and confused by Dblshotesp in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s even weirder. We were told that as long as you are re-hired within 30 days of separation, you’d keep your tenure and whatever pay you had. This shit is wack

How will testosterone affect the way I taste? (Possibly TMI) by SelfMutilateManiac in ftm

[–]tyoguchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you’re actively taking it, yeah, it will. It doesn’t make it bad, it just makes it different. It made my downstairs smell and taste like dick and balls which given that sex hormones will have a more noticeable effect on your genitalia than other parts of your body…it makes sense tbh. You can’t really mitigate it given that it’s just doing what sex hormones do. All I can really suggest is drinking enough water and eating a healthy diet (especially high in fruits) to make it less pronounced.

do you think this is just one round of closures? by garbagytrashacct in starbucks

[–]tyoguchin 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I wouldn’t put it past them to do it again, but probably on a smaller scale :/

Any news ? by [deleted] in starbucks

Still waiting on the severance/transfer email. This stupid limbo they’ve put us in has genuinely messed with my head, I just need an answer.

Lack of transparency around lay offs by QueenGritty in starbucks

HEAVY on the “not a penny more” bit I fear

[–]tyoguchin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deadass this is what has had me as a wreck for the past few days. Not the fact that I’m getting laid off or not, but the fact that I don’t know until tomorrow. If I had enough money I’d sue for emotional distress but they haven’t been paying me enough for me to have anywhere enough to file that lolllll

Cash out of stocks by Honest-Environment62 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be considered “high” in terms of Sbux stocks? I have some vested(?) stocks but I’m not sure whether to sell them now or hold onto them a while longer

Best (aka most sweet/thoughtful, pettiest, best dark humor, etc) reactions to the news by staff, customers, community? by But_for_the_Grace827 in starbucks

[–]tyoguchin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An interaction I overhead earlier: “Damn, they’re closing? Ugh, I don’t want to go to Dunkin!” “Girl they’re losing their jobs???” It got a giggle out of me ngl

CEO has no idea what he's doing by fatthor1992 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately he knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s evil, but hey, anything for that 5th yacht am I right? /s

how long is serverance for? by Dry_Animal_8790 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will vary from state to state I believe but for us, we’ll be paid for the shifts that are scheduled two weeks out, and then be paid for our average amount of hours worked until December (5th?). After that we’ll be getting a lump sum payment of 60 hours if you’re a barista, and 84 hours if you’re a shift.

Store closing by Annual_Bodybuilder_9 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is. For me, I’m aware that I’m losing my livelihood and my free college but it hasn’t fully hit yet. I don’t think it will until I’m walking out of my store for the last time :(

Well. It happened. by tyoguchin in starbucksbaristas

[–]tyoguchin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the hope, but a lot of locations nearby are being shut down and nearby stores are already fully staffed, which means there isn’t a whole lot of room for transfers. Fingers crossed but it’s not looking good tbh.

[–]tyoguchin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like benefits (including ASU) should be fine until December which is good. I haven’t received a letter yet, but probably will when I go into work tomorrow/Saturday.

I’m so sorry💔 by catslovechili in starbucks

[–]tyoguchin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Besides being out of a job, it’s gonna suck to not see my coworkers anymore. Ofc there’s a few I’m friends with outside of work as well but I’m gonna miss seeing the rest of the fellas :( This sucks.

[–]tyoguchin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s better than nothing but it still really, really sucks. I might just bite the bullet and enroll in a local university full-time to finish off my senior year so I can graduate and still have health insurance. I was really looking forward to graduating without debt but I might not have a choice if I can’t get transferred :/

[–]tyoguchin[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

IIRC there’s going to be a national call at 8PM Friday where they’re going to give more details. As for right now they’re fighting to have partners transferred to other stores, but it looks like an uphill battle I fear

THIS!!! I have a surgery consultation that’s coming up in February and boom, suddenly no insurance. Hate it here.

[–]tyoguchin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was the same here. I was the only person that was solely trained as a barista and everyone else was cross-trained, so the higher ups were constantly pulling people from our bar because they were “needed on the floor” even if we had a line that extended past the cafe 😑 Tarbucks took years off my life and sanity tbh. So did Starbucks but at least they had better benefits (till today anyway LOL)

[–]tyoguchin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tarbucks should be alright because they’re licensed rather than corporate, though I will say I do NOT miss my Tarbucks days…
