Starbucks reducing workers’ hours, asking others to take unpaid leave
June 2, 2020
Starbucks is cutting back on the hours it gives store employees to reflect reduced operating hours and lower sales with its operations limited to delivery, drive-through and pickup. The company is also asking employees to take unpaid leave until September as it keeps stores closed to sit-down customers. “Customer routines and occasions have changed, for all retailers,” said Starbucks’ Rossann Williams in a letter to employees last week.
