Coffi Lab more like Coffin Lab - dead vibes - Former Barista Coffi Lab Employee Review

*Ahem* I had a very disappointing experience working at Coffi Lab. I was let go during my probation period for being late due to something entirely out of my control. The reasoning given was that I failed to communicate early enough with the team, despite me contacting them as soon as I could under the circumstances. It was a stressful situation and I felt this context was ignored. It felt like an excuse rather than a genuine issue. There was no understanding, no flexibility, and absolutely no support. I was also told I required “prompting” to complete some tasks and that I “blew hot and cold” at work. I had been open with a supervisor from the start about struggles with ADHD like symptoms which I feel directly impacts my executive functioning and energy levels. Also I’m human??? Sorry for not being robocop at work. I was told that often I can be really ‘on it’ and work efficiently and sometimes I focus on one station too much. I had told someone in management that I can get tunnel vision on tasks so sorry I didn’t notice the two coffee cups on that far table in the empty cafe whilst my heads in the dishwasher and there’s 3 other people on shift - ya got me!!!! Rather than giving me a chance to discuss how my experience of Adhd like symptoms could be related or show understanding and offer any support, they just, fired me! I believe the decision to terminate my employment was completely unfair and reflects a lack of awareness or compassion for employees. In my view, Coffi Lab talks about community and inclusivity, but my experience suggests they fall short when it comes to actually supporting staff who are different. I’m sure Coffi Lab will respond and spew out some HR drivel but you heard it here first!!There’s a very similar terrible review of Coffi Lab posted in December 2024 which is very similar to my experience - in which they said they appreciated the feedback and would work on things…… well maybe it’s y’all that need the prompting hmmmmm??? I was a well liked, energetic, capable and hard worker. The standards they require for 20p above minimum wage is just unbelievable and it’s just not worth your time - if you’re thinking of sending them an application, think again!!! <3
