Starbucks is requiring some remote workers to return to its headquarters and increasing the number of days that corporate employees are required to work in an office.
In a letter to employees posted on Monday, Starbucks Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol said corporate employees would need to be in the office four days a week starting in early October instead of three days a week.
The Seattle-based company said that all corporate “people leaders” must be based in either Seattle or Toronto within 12 months. That is a change from February, when it required vice presidents to relocate to Seattle or Toronto.
Isn’t the CEO commuting from LA to Seattle by private jet every day because his kids don’t want to change school or something?
Yup that asshat is doing his part to overheat the planet and is getting his panties in a wad about real people not wanting to waste money coming in to a workplace.
I know I could search and I will, but asking for anyone else in case I don’t return - got any source? Cause that would be disgusting if true and yet another cause to avoid SB

Starbucks is providing a corporate jet and paying for him to fly to Seattle. He’s probably not doing it every day, but it’s quite disgusting.
But let’s force everyone who isn’t a CEO to uproot their lives and move. Starbucks pinky swears that after you relocate, they won’t do a round of job cuts in a year.
If only there was a way to save money. Oh right, let’s just lay off some peons (by making them quit so we don’t have to pay severance) and pay the rest less while they take on the work that used to be done by multiple people. The CEO using a private jet to commute? That’s clearly a necessary expense.
I remember reading about it a few months ago

Yup, from Newport Beach, CA. I don’t know the reason or frequency, but it does seem like he’s home every weekend.
