I work at Starbucks so I can't afford a car.
If you want another example of how this company is full of evil hacks, they are now making it harder for us to get to and from work.
They had this partnership with Lyft where between 6 PM and 6 AM you could get $20 off a Lyft to or from your home store. It was deemed a safety measure for those of us who don't have cars so we're not waiting outside in the dark before open or after close.
It's 7:30 PM, I'm done with my shift. My bus won't be here for half an hour so I try to call a Lyft only to find my coupon isn't applying.
I refresh it, I look under payments, I'm assuming it's a bug. Then I check the benefits screen and find this.
They have *halved* our availability to use this service. Also, not all Starbucks are open under 11:30 PM making this benefit useless.
None of this was told to partners. We had to discover it on our own.
This is how companies fuck you. You may think you have great benefits, but you have no power to keep them. Once labor gets compliant, the executives will take everything, bit by bit, penny by fucking penny. And reminder, this was a *safety* measure. Your wellbeing is meaningless to them.
Fuck the executive class. Unionize now. Collective action is the only thing these bloodsuckers fear and they need to be very, very afraid.
