Let’s talk about that time I worked at NotStarbucks.NotStarbucks has not provided an Extended Break notice despite my request to do so a longwhile ago. This situation has caused me significant worries. I wanted to take a break fromaccumulated stress from the very start to the present, because of several issues thatNotStarbucks has had. While I recognize some internal issues are being worked on, there hasbeen limited acknowledgment of responsibility for past incidents. I have experienced difficultiesprimarily in my interactions with Mr. Man.I was scheduled to receive my share of the second Promo Event earnings, given to me insupport by Customers, in early February to help and facilitate my move to another country,including various expenses like furniture, sound proofing, better equipment – as agreed & beingthe sole reason for my second Promo Event, but I did not receive anything. The lack of fundshas caused me financial hardship. I have been under the impression that I would be paid. I wastold it was sent, or being sent at the time, and like the first Promo Event, and all the other PromoEvents, I should have received the funds on my next paycheck.I was then recently told that the funds were frozen due saying I wouldn’t do my Tasks, which isfalse. We were still discussing and in the middle of negotiations. There were mentions of othertasks over which I had no control over (e.g a NotStarbucks Mini Game, NotStarbucks StuffedMascot), and that was what I was referring to. This concerned me, because I stated multipletimes I could do my Tasks. It seemed illogical, as I had learned I would not receive the fundsprior to this part in our negotiations. I was told by someone else at NotStarbucks that the actualreason was because I had a Work Leave Notice active. Regardless, this shouldn’t havechanged anything since there was a significant established lapse of time before my leave, and Iwas more than open to negotiate and compromise to do my Tasks during that time, and extendthe Work Leave Notice.Around the start of January, I had issued a Work Leave Notice because of my experiences atNotStarbucks. I want to emphasize that issuing the Work Leave Notice was not related to thePromo Event. I planned to see what was possible, what my options were, what we could agreeon, finish my Tasks of the Promo Event and exit with no complications. Keep in mind, we areEnd of March as of writing this, and I could have worked on Tasks for the Promo Event thisentire time.There were instances of undue pressure and coercion over the past months, going back andforth, such as punitive terms in documents I was given to sign, and threats. I refused to signanything for my own mental well-being and to protect my freedom. Other well-meaningindividuals joined in the negotiation near the tail-end, but it was still unfruitful, as Mr. Manrefused to budge. In the end, I knew refunds might have to be issued, despite being a lastoption because of my financial situation, and possibilities of resolving this. I was very recentlymade aware by Customers that, upon asking for refunds, messages sent by NotStarbucks toCustomers indicated no refunds would be offered because I was presently working on, and onmy way to finishing my Tasks (false, as we had not yet come to an agreement, whilesimultaneously claiming I would not do my Tasks. I hadn’t received anything either way). In theend, it is the right thing to do for Customers because we were unable to find a way forNotStarbucks to let me complete my Tasks.I have been feeling very unwell because of this situation, and have made this known toNotStarbucks. It has affected me mentally and physically, where I have needed to see a doctor.Most days I feel very depressed and brain fogged, completely out of it, and I struggle to doanything, including Coffee Making. I have felt lonely and isolated, worsening my anxieties. I amvery exhausted. I tried my best.I have respectfully asked NotStarbucks to respect my privacy and discontinue anyfurther attempts to contact me. Despite holding evidence, I've chosen not to disclosefurther details out of consideration for the other Baristas and NotStarbucks Staff. Ibelieve it prudent for all parties to move forward and disengage from this matter.Continued engagement serves no purpose and will only perpetuate harm and validate myexperiences.
CRY "HAVOC!", AND LET SLIP THE ONE GUYS OF WAR!
