Anyone else seeing weird scheduling changes? Feels like something's up.

Hey everyone. Been with Starbucks for about 3 years now, mostly as a shift supervisor at a busy store. Over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed some really strange scheduling shifts. Like, hours are being cut drastically for some people, while others who usually get decent hours are suddenly barely getting anything. Our store manager is being super cagey about it, just saying it's 'inventory management' and 'operational adjustments.' But it feels like more than that. We've also had a couple of senior baristas suddenly 'move on' without much fanfare. It's making everyone really anxious. Seeing some of the news about potential layoffs and closures, I'm wondering if this is the start of something bigger at our location or regionally. Has anyone else experienced similar weirdness in their district? Trying to get a sense of what's actually happening before they just drop the bomb.

Yeah, same here. My store's been having super inconsistent scheduling for the last month. Some weeks it's like we're drowning in labor, and the next week we're scrambling to cover shifts because half the team is scheduled for barely 10 hours. Management keeps giving us the runaround too, calling it 'optimization' but it just feels like they're trying to save money by cutting hours wherever possible. It's making it impossible to plan anything outside of work, and honestly, it's starting to affect morale.
