As Starbucks axes hundreds of stores and thousands of jobs in a sweeping $1 billion restructuring effort, one former employee claims getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to her.<\/p>\n
G Baby, an OnlyFans content creator with millions of followers, says her dismissal from a Starbucks several years ago gave her the push to pursue her own business.<\/p>\n
“I got fired from Starbucks, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she told LA Weekly<\/a>. \u201cAt the time I thought my life was falling apart, but it set me up for everything that came after.\u201d<\/p>\n After leaving the coffee chain, G Baby, whose real name is Grace, turned to OnlyFans.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n She said she didn\u2019t expect much at first, but quickly found a niche by engaging directly with fans.<\/p>\n \u201cIt started with a couple of posts here and there,\u201d she said. \u201cThen I realized people were responding to me, not just the pictures. They wanted to connect, and that\u2019s when things really took off.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to treat it seriously,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not posting once in a while and waiting for money to show up. You\u2019re creating, editing, promoting, and interacting every single day. It\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI used to stress about rent, about bills. Now I\u2019m building savings and looking at investments. It\u2019s a completely different world.\u201d<\/p>\n She says people often underestimate creators on platforms like OnlyFans. \u201cI know people judge,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve built. I own my brand, I set my schedule, and I decide what\u2019s right for me. No boss can take that away.\u201d<\/p>\n She has since embraced her Starbucks past in viral skits.<\/p>\n One video shows her handing out pink drinks while wearing a revealing version of the green apron. Captioned \u201cyk what else is pink,\u201d the clip racked up over 1.8 million likes.<\/p>\n \u201cThat job is a punchline now,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it gave me the push I needed.\u201d<\/p>\n Her story resurfaces as Starbucks slashes 900 corporate jobs and plans to close about 500 North American stores in fiscal 2025, according to CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n CEO Brian Niccol called the decision part of a move to build \u201ca more resilient Starbucks.\u201d Stock has dropped more than 8% this year amid slower U.S. sales.<\/p>\n <\/a> Howie Mandel Reacts to Camilla Araujo\u2019s $2.5M-a-Month Earnings<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Sophie Rain Joins Shaquille O\u2019Neal for Dj Set During 21st Birthday Vegas Trip<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Camilla Araujo Say She ‘Never Approved’ of Piper Rockelle Stunt as She Gives Update on Sophie Rain<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Greg Y\u00fcna Proves You Can Get Fly for the Low in Chime\u2019s \u2018Ball On A Budget\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Charlie Sheen Recalls Mistaking Heroin for Cocaine in the ’90s<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
