Starbucks says Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet
So, you’re going to continue to increase climate change, rather than just using a zoom call. GOD DAMN CEOS!!! Why the hell is return to office so important to you assholes??? Just do a god damned video call!
Self-preservation. If they stay at home for too long, they’ll get sued for domestic violence.
A zoom call has the possibility of being recorded. I’m 90% sure at this point all these execs insist on in person meetings is so they can plan and discuss illegal and unethical shit without worry.
I’m only in middle management and I know I feel the difference in the way I talk about things on zoom calls VS in person.
You could also record an in person meeting.
Zoom tells participants if the are being recorded by the zoom app.I think these people just get off on having their fiefdom and serfs in person before them to pander and be sycophants.
You can record a zoom meeting easily with obs. Same for teams. I know, I’ve done it.
Have you considered the culture ?? Hmmm???
Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!
Cubicles? You mean open plan office space for better collaboration!
Bro should one way supercommute into the sun
Calling it “supercommute” is such a stupid thing. It should be called “stupidcommute” or maybe “commoronute”.
Cuntycommuting
There ya go
They got their CEO to-go
I’m sorry, if you aren’t willing to relocate, you are not a good fit for the company.
I heard this in a job interview and the position was disclosed as remote.
I don’t understand why can’t the CEO be remote. They can buy all their important staff Apple Vision Pros if they’d like and it’ll still be cheaper than this
That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.
Piece of shit, wow!
I wonder what happened to all the Chipotle head office employees who had to relocate to be near this guy now that he bounced
The fucker should fly business class with everybody else
Economy.

then there’s always the possibility you might end up next to Tom Cruise to make it worse
Steerage
Spirit/Frontier, he’s not allowed to buy a single upgrade in advance, and the employees are required to harass him about the size of his personal item and upcharge him for a carry-on on every single flight.
Don’t worry, he probably has some arrangement to only go like once. A month.
Per the article, he’s required to be onsite 3 days a week
In the offer letter, Starbucks also notes that it will set up a remote office for Niccol in Newport Beach along with an assistant of his choosing. When he is not traveling for work, however, Niccol will still be expected to work from the Seattle office at least three days a week in alignment with Starbucks’ hybrid work policies, a company spokesperson tells CNBC Make It.
A “remote office” in his backyard, no doubt.
No work from home! We’re willing to fuel climate change for one person so everyone knows how serious we are! Not even the CEO is allowed to work remotely.
Burn the planet, make everyone’s work life more miserable than it needs to be, and profit from all of it.
Corporate bullshit is going to kill off our species, and take the others with it because their greed is insatiable.
That’s some ridiculous micro management of a CEO. Didn’t expect to see that in a contract for someone at that level.
It seems more like he isn’t an exception to the hybrid work policy that applies to everyone else. Although it notes “when not traveling for work”, so chances are he’ll be flying all over the place anyway for unnecessary meetings and schmoozing sessions. Or whatever else a CEO can’t do remotely
Also what are the odds they’re gonna be paying for all the flights.
100%, that’s basically the entire point of a company jet.
Try once a week! He will have to be in Seattle three days a week to conform to Starbucks’ remote/hybrid work policy.
And here I was thinking naively that this was an opportunity for change.
Real “Meetings that could have been Emails” energy on this executive level decision.
Honestly, doing the big Star Wars Emperor hologram head would have made this guy look less evil.
“I’m tall and have great hair, and I feel my thralls really need to see that.”
I’m tall and have great hair. Am I supposed to have thralls?
This is it, y’all! This is the one.
No political messaging, no debatable tech contribution, no societal contribution, the company will be fine because they change CEOs like I change my underwear.
I think everyone can agree, this is the one we eat. It’s time to send a message and enjoy a damn fine meal.
Dude has two families
I have to dry my clothes between 12am and 3pm and this m’fer gets to fly a jet to work. Private jets along with luxury yachts are things humanity shouldn’t have.
There’s no inherent polluting/ecological threat in either vehicle (in the far-flung hypothetical that they run on sustainable sources), i.e. you can conceive of a solar-jet or a fusion yacht. Why can’t people have nice, private things? Because my utopia conception of an equitable, 1%-less future doesn’t necessitate me crammed in 949 hyperplane with 1000 other people for efficiency.
You keep using the word “future”.
That’s sort of the point you’re ironically appearing to miss.
No, I’m not missing that the unchecked usage of mass polluting luxury vehicles by the 1% is a not-insignificant contirbutor to global emissions.
But the statement wasn’t those fuckos should stop, it was “humanity shouldn’t have” those things. An unqualified, blanket(, likely hyperbolic) denial. Like saying ‘humanity shouldn’t have personal cars’ because EVs hadn’t taken off yet.
Go deeper.
We shouldn’t have these things because the usage is abused by every aspect of modern society. Look into the history of electrical and hydrogen engines. You’ll see what I mean.
Add a few more paragraphs and boom: you’ve got a copypasta
