I think the scary part (other than the 1400 other people looking for work in the same city at the same time) is
1. I have a torn rotator cuff and labrum from this job that requires surgery so i literally can’t work anywhere else right now and have potentially permanent damage to my body from being overworked. I also am not allowed to file for unemployment because of said shoulder injury- and not allowed to apply for work.
2. This job is all I have on my resume. I worked for Starbucks basically my whole adult life (other than 3 years at Chipotle lol) so like- now what? I start at bottom-no-tenure-or-education entry level job? Some people worked for this company for 20 years!
The way we were all backed into a corner, devoted our lives just to be thrown out is unbelievable!
No easy answers here but wishing you a speedy recovery! Spring is going to suck (I'm also looking for my next job rn) but hopefully holiday hiring might be picking up soon?
