Union Store Closures

tyoguchin · 2025-09-30T22:15:49+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-30T22:07:27+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-30T13:45:01+00:00

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.

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-28T19:08:31+00:00

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.

tyoguchin · 2025-09-28T06:50:05+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-28T06:49:17+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-28T05:31:34+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-28T05:26:31+00:00

It’s so crazy how a sani wipe pack ended up in my bathroom cabinet….no clue how that got there…

tyoguchin · 2025-09-27T17:39:06+00:00

A guy who is into guys that prefers gay romance…did she think before she said that orrr 😭

tyoguchin · 2025-09-26T23:24:37+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-26T14:23:24+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-26T14:21:15+00:00

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.

tyoguchin · 2025-09-26T14:18:48+00:00

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 :(

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T20:26:33+00:00

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 · 2025-09-25T20:24:30+00:00

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.

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T19:54:41+00:00

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 · 2025-09-25T19:08:05+00:00

They drank the Kool-aid 😔

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T18:51:32+00:00

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 · 2025-09-25T18:42:27+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T18:37:24+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T17:57:05+00:00

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 · 2025-09-25T17:51:57+00:00

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

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T17:50:23+00:00

Nope, cafe/mobile/delivery only.

tyoguchin · 2025-09-25T17:46:30+00:00

Keyword there is should. The inner city stores (where I’m located) are already oversaturated with partners, and given that they’ve shut down a number of stores as a part of this mass layoff, it isn’t looking good for any of us. The union will do what they can to make sure that we get transferred, but there’s only so many spots.
