This is such a loser comment. Employees “fanning the flames”? A better way to put that would be people with firsthand experience with management are finally speaking out against the shitty treatment they’ve been receiving. Firsthand experience that you do not have. There was no “justified corrective action”, would you like to cite your sources there and expose your relation to management? The employee was inappropriately fired after months of the IRL location dealing with horrific management practices and the six (yes only six!) baristas who work there having to run a store with little to no help. I would LOVE to provide examples as unlike you I have firsthand experience.

The fired barista already mentioned that she had nothing to do with the posts happening and that it was a response to a bad decision instead. You can’t make a poor decision and then expect there not to be a reaction from the public. It’s not her fault it happened. “Justified retaliation” for what? From all of these comments and posts it seems clear that it wasn’t justified and that the manager fired her for personal shit because he didn’t like her sticking up for herself and coworkers. How is that justified?

Saying this is “just a coffee shop” really shows how removed you are. That’s a very privileged position to be able to take when it’s not your job, your work environment, your community. If it was you’d understand why this matters and why people are upset.

I work here and I'm mad and "fanning the flames" because Chris makes his assistant manager Micheal cry during their meetings. Because Chris makes some of the workers uncomfortable because they think he wants to sleep with them. Because Chris is so passive aggressive that he won't tell you what's wrong, but will slam doors and cabinets at work if something is wrong. There is so much more that I've already posted about. You can either believe the workers, or you can believe a man in power.

ah ah ah, i do appreciate you think my following on twitch to be so strong but, for my safety as i have had issues with stalkers in the past, those parts of my life are VERY separate. **i think its creepy you know about my unrelated twitch account** so i am sorry, the reviews they have to take on the chin since the only name i can even recognize from the poor reviews is in fact a regular. rumors move fast and hard and in this very service centered town people ride for the people pouring their drinks, caffeine and alcohol alike.
yes my hours which was meant to be full time were cut actually because i could supplement my income with another job and i communicate well with my other coworkers, i know during the summer they needed it more than me at the time so i gave up my promised full time since CE didnt offer benefits for me anyway. there was favoritism with labor hours, enough that one of our vendors, who was a regular also, had to step in at some point to get the IRL location any amount of help so we did what we had to do and i gave up a lot to help my coworkers in that way and was fine doing so.
I find the outrage comes from the reason of firing being the manager admitting just not liking me and thinking i’m a bitch, people like their service workers and if the “employees are fanning flames” and you are on the side of business bros and poor management, you’re on the wrong side. know that the lowest rung of employment in any field is what is holding up the business. listen to them.
it’s just a coffee shop to you but for three year it was me, i painted the walls there, first stable place moving to iowa city and i found passion there and its not just a coffee shop to the workers who are clearly passionate about this and the regulars in this area.
tldr: you’re weird for this and know a creepy amount of some stuff and clearly not enough about other stuff
