I'm Losing My Job...
2 years ago
Hey, guys!
A very importan announcement from me!
I already know about it since the end of February but now I feel ready to tell you about it. After almost two years of work, I'm leaving Starbucks. They told me they're not able to extend my current contract with them and here's why...
It's all becasue of the economy of the local I worked since November (earlier I worked in another one but decided to change it on my own because of too many guests there [it was in the capital's center]). They've decided to remove a work place called Lobby Worker who I was and now only barists will stay there. When I was talking about it with my colleagues from my job, they said our local earns not so much money. In the other words, I'm no longer needed there...
Normally, they would move me into another local in the city but unfortunately, currently there's not such a possibility so they asked me to take all free days I had as they're just not able to extend my contract. Yesterday, it was my last day there and said "Goodbye" to everyone who was in work with me that day. Even though according to my contract, my last day of work is April 30, now I'm using my free days which left as my bosses asked me to do it.
I'm totally reconciled with my current situation, especially that actually it's not very bad. I still have a secondary job as an Educator who shares with teachers and parents a knowledge about autism (I'm autistic) and it's gonna take till the end of June. Some woman from a foundation which takes care about people with autism and is the biggest and the very first one (since 1990) in my country, asks me from time to time for being a co-host at events where also share a knowledge about such a disorder as in my country I'm a self-advocate of people with ASD and I'm damn thankful for her because of that. I'm gonna get my last salary from Starbucks only on the beginning of May. Not even to mention about my savings. When I was losing my job in Pizza Hut during the pandemic in April 2020, I could only dream about such a great situation I have now!
Now I'm seeking for another job. Also... damn! I'm freaking 33 and I'm awared I shouldn't work in such places like Starbucks for a minimal salary with all those people who are just 18-20 and leave this job almost as fast as they appear. Before I left my job in Starbucks, even though I look much younger, I was feeling almost like an old lady among that bunch of "kiddos". In the other words, I hope I'll finally get a job I REALLY deserve. I know my value and I'm awared nobody will live for work in gastronomy. Sure, I have such a luck my mom is able to maintain me and she gives me a home but... it's not gonna take forever, right? Sooner or later I'll need a financial independence I don't have yet. Otherwise, I would live in misery if not be dead.
So yeah, maybe it's freaking great I'm leaving Starbucks. Maybe it's time to open another chapter in my life. A really good one...

It took me a year to get hired so I know how your feeling.
A year you say... Well, I believe I'll get my new job much sooner.
