Some people love their jobs, and other people hate them. There are also those who fall somewhere in the middle. Some days, they may enjoy what they do, and on other days, they can’t do anything but complain.
There are folks who absolutely love what they do, others who can’t stand it, and many who find themselves somewhere in between. One day might be great, and the next, we’re counting down the minutes until we can leave.
When we complain, we often do so to our friends and family. At times, we may complain to other employees or even our boss. One Starbucks employee, however, decided to complain to the world as he hid in the stock room and took a viral video.
He was complaining about his job because he got scheduled 25 hours a week, and then on the weekend, he had to work two 8-hour shifts.
Balancing a heavy workload is tough, especially if you’re also a full-time student, like this Starbucks worker. Sometimes, though, you just have to soldier on and get through it.

The employee was holding back tears as he spoke about working at Starbucks. He wanted to quit, and he wanted a union.
Of course, people in the comments were not always sympathetic to his feelings. Some people had no sympathy, and others told him he just needed to stop being so soft.
There were also other people who agreed with him, saying that he was within his rights to be frustrated with Starbucks and his manager. Eight-hour shifts are not unusual but when you do it on top of being a full-time student, it can get to you.
