#HaikuADay #Haiku

Yes, I worked for Starbucks from 1992 until I moved to Honolulu in 2001 to be a part of the partnership here & did that until 2009. Being in HR anywhere has its challenges but today‘s Haiku is about how glad I am I‘m not part of their new dress code & policy roll out. Like their new paper iced cups, not very well thought out & executed. 🫣😱🤐

Job regrets can stir,
Then I sip, sigh, grateful I‘m
not Starbucks HR…

tpixie Can you please explain to me why the dress code is so horrible? Most businesses, companies, and restaurants have dress codes and many have uniforms. I‘ve never worked in a place that doesn‘t have one. So if you could give me a different perspective, I would appreciate it. 2w
lil1inblue @tpixie I'm not sure about the dress code part, but they are banning employees from wearing masks. This can be difficult for anyone who is immuno-comprimised from a variety of conditions. 2w
lil1inblue 😂😂😂 Dealing with some HR matters of our own at work, but still thankful I'm dealing with this! 2w
DebinHawaii @tpixie I am not against dress codes at all & think they are necessary & this new version of the dress code is actually very similar & even a bit more liberal than it was back in my day. The issue here is they went very liberal with the dress code a few years ago & allowed people to express their individuality in many ways & even had a website/store with logo items & things store employees could buy for aprons, etc. Many of them spent a lot to ⬇️ 2w
DebinHawaii …to buy these brand-sanctioned items. Flash forward to now, the dress code got very dialed back to rigid & almost none of what they spent their money on can be worn under the new code. They issued them all two black tee-shirts only & many stores didn‘t get those shirts shipped before the 5/12 date. They are expected to buy everything else—more black shirts, pants, shoes that are required now & that‘s hard on their wages. ⬇️ 2w
DebinHawaii …They also are being written up or sent home to go buy new clothes in some stores & districts but not others so it‘s being rolled out inconsistently & accompanied by other policies they have to follow or change now or hold customers to that are making customers unhappy. I could go on & on but it‘s not the dress code I am against—it was just rolled out so badly it could be a business case for how not to do it. @lil1inblue Yes, the masks too. (edited) 2w
dabbe Thanks for providing all of that input, @DebinHawaii. I went and looked it up at their website to get “their“ opinion. According to them, it's all about making those green aprons stand out even more. 😳 But what you said hits the truth more; let's make everyone look as monochromatic as possible and all the stuff they bought is now useless. #beyondstupid Your haiku hits on the ridiculousness of it all. 💛🐝🖤 2w
DebinHawaii @dabbe Yes, I don‘t disagree with making the green aprons pop & a more consistent look, just think they needed to think it through it all better & not take away all the originality. Funny thing—SBUX icon is the green apron but their Coffee Master program (where partners study/test to reach that level) has a black apron, so now they are all black on black. Anyway, I was feeling sassy & shaking my head as someone who once did training & HR there.😉 2w
dabbe @DebinHawaii You are quite the sassy lassie! 😍💚😍 2w
tpixie @lil1inblue that‘s so strange to prohibit masks. Hopefully the ones that need to wear masks can get a doctor‘s note and take it to work. Too bad that‘s necessary. 2w
tpixie @DebinHawaii Thanks so very much for this thorough explanation. I understand the situation so much better now. It helps to understand the whole story! 🩵🩵🩵 2w
lil1inblue @tpixie That works for those that have conditions, assuming, of course, that healthcare is accessible to them (which is not always the case). But for instance I am not immuno-comprimised, but my parents, who live with me, are. I mask when there are things going around so I don't bring them home. I wouldn't be able to do that there. 2w
tpixie @lil1inblue that just is wrong. 😑 2w

My husband and I read this one together. We really enjoyed it and found it helpful, encouraging, and insightful. If you‘re looking for a book to learn more about grace, what it is, and what it means for the Christian, then I highly recommend you check this book out. I originally chose it because I enjoy listening to the author‘s podcast, Things Unseen. I recommend that, too.

I found this book used and enjoy the author‘s podcast. I thought I‘d check it out. It‘s been on my shelf for a while. Since I‘m up far too early, I‘m starting it. I‘m still trying to figure out if the Shakespearean insult mug is a result of careful planning for balance, or, more likely, happenstance. Coaster by my daughter. Warm cinnamon toast milk in my mug. #contentment #2025nfbookchallenge

A wonderful book for kids and grown ups which explains the meaning of the cross with simple language and expressive pictures. We love it and read it every year around Easter!

My uncle gave me a copy of this book last Easter and this morning called to check up on my progress with it. Known as one of the biggest readers in the family, I promised to actually read it before this Easter so I can return it to him. Admittedly, this isn‘t the sort of book I would pick up on my own, but I love my family and am interested to discuss this at the end of the month and see what are the points that have stuck with him the most.

Deblovestoread Your Easter decoration is adorable! 1y
TorieStorieS @Deblovestoread Thank you! A HomeGoods treasure from a few years ago! 1y

aperfectmjk @LiseWorks sorry, life happened, as usual. 🙄 I'm going to work very hard to get my numbers to you tonight. I'm so sorry for the delay. 2y
aperfectmjk @Liseworks... okay, I'm going with 27,289. I'm certain I'm missing points, but I wanted to get you a number, so this is probably fairly close 2y

3✨ Everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow in Christ. The author provides personal experiences as a homosexual woman and her transition not necessarily to becoming “strait”, but to getting closer to the Lord and find His will for her. She has resources for same sex Christian‘s as well. No matter what your beliefs I think the authors statements are a good middle ground.

I had heard this book referenced in a sermon and then also saw it positively reviewed here, so I decided to give it a listen. It was a wonderfully written interpretation of the Biblical story of the prodigal son, explaining the faults of both sons. The message resonated with me, and I loved all the literary references as well. I‘ll need to research more books by this author.

Daisey @BarbaraJean Thanks for moving this book up on my TBR list. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 2y
BarbaraJean Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning to check out more books by him as well, since this was the first one I'd read of his. I have this one on my shelf but haven't picked it up yet: 2y
