I guess they want them to start spelling people’s names correctly.

Is this a 3rd party site? Every barista job on Starbucks’ actual site says no experience or education required, so I’m pretty sure what’s more infuriating is how god awful pretty much every job site has become.

Indeed has been trash for years, so that tracks. That’s why I’ve only ever used it to figure out who (maybe) has jobs open and then apply directly - they have so much bad information.

What app is better? I’ve had bad luck with LinkedIn, Glassdoor and Ziprecruiter?

Yeah Starbucks literally partnered with the Orion homeless youth shelter in Seattle to train teens to be baristas.

Due to instability during their upbringing, for some of these kids just being able to show up at a certain location at a certain time is a job skill they’re lacking. Yet there’s a little half-Starbucks on site where they can learn that and more.

It’s not the degree itself, it’s the debt you incurred to get it, and your consequent lack of negotiating power.

I mean migration is a real thing, if your country is so broken and backwards that education is privately paid, might as well migrate to a better and more civilized country?

Migration to Europe or Canada is essentially impossible unless you have skills that are in high demand.

Curious to know what their rationale is. You shouldn’t even need a high school diploma to serve overpriced coffee.

It’s not, this isn’t from Starbucks. It’s just some shitty-arse app that adds this to ~all the listings on it, probably assuming it to be the default.

A degree signals you have a history of satisfactory performance of arbitrary tasks over a prolonged period. It can be a way to get less bad employees, though not necessarily better ones.

From knowing a little about recruiting, if you have a bachelor’s degree and apply, they’re willing to drop one of their employees who barely finished high school.

It’s not worth it to replace an underperformer with someone else who’ll likely underperform. But if you can start with someone you deem “better” because they have a slightly more expensive piece of paper, it’s more worth the risk.

I thought conventional wisdom was always that service industry jobs don’t really want people with degrees because they’re more likely to find something better and jump ship quickly. “Overqualified.”

This is next level irony. A coffee shop requiring a gender studies degree.
