I have never gone to a Starbucks and I never will. It's not that hard to do that. They will never get even a penny out of me.
I already have dirty toilet water at home, I don't see why I would pay Starbucks for it.
Looks like Luigi got another flag to reach
Luigi did his part
Maybe we need Mario now?
They could have paid every one of those employees nearly 6 figures instead. If the company is doing so badly that they feel they need to lay off a thousand people, they should not be handing out CEO bonuses, period.
Pretty sure a good portion of that was union busting, but that's what we're all about now.
This would not shock me in the slightest
I guess it’s a good thing I make my own coffee at home. Bonus! It doesn’t taste like burnt bean water!
That's $96,000 per layed off worker
This is the same douche canoe that was the CEO of Chipotle and denied that the serving sizes were getting smaller and told people to just harass the worker making the food if they thought their serving size was to small.
Also the same guy trying to green wash plastic waste to be customer responsibility while commuting on a private jet from Southern California to Seattle.
There's absolutely no way he's adding enough value compared to Joe MBA to justify that compensation.
That's what I'm trying to do understand as well. What's the explanation for these kinds of things? What's the actual sequence of events and how conditions that lead to these things? Why would the board approve of this kind of compensation?
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it."
I don't get it. We did not let kings and lords and counts keep their belongings. Why are we treating this scum any different?
Capitalism has no face to punch
It has many!
In the time of kings and lords, it got way, way worse than this.
Not saying we should wait that long now, just saying.
Cap the maximum compensation gap (including bonuses and stocks) between the highest paid and lowest paid person in a company at 1000:1. Any overpay goes into a UBI account that pays out equally to all.
Should be 30 :1 on whichever is lower average or median salary and contractors count if they perform core business functions/work on location.
So he literally stole their salaries. We can't put up with millionair ceos anymore, it needs to be outlawed..
Don't use Starbucks anymore. It's American
Don't use Charbucks anymore. It's shit coffee
Boycott what you don't like. Vote with your money.
Haven't spent money in a Starbucks for over a decade...nor fast food chains, nor Walmart.
Did do a few Amazon purchases a few years ago and I still feel guilty about it.
I've literally only bought two things from amazon, ever. I feel bad about it to this day :/
Had to get the money from somewhere. Just like Trump. Fire a bunch of workers for the tax cut payments to billionaires. Like clockwork.
This is the guy that commutes from LA to Seattle on a private jet?
Yeah, same guy who fired nearly everyone at the Chipotle corporate office in Denver so he didn't have to commute.
That's.....man I hope you're wrong as that's awful.
In 2018 Niccole laid off 400 at the Denver and New York locations so that HQ could be relocated to Newport Beach, where he lived at the time.
That was just the 400 FTEs. There were also lost of contractors that were affected as well! Most people don't count them since they could have been let go for any reason.
Of course that wasn't the official reason he gave. He hired a management consultant group to do a study of where all the top restaurant talent was in the country. Surprise, surprise, all the criteria they were given led them to narrow down the ideal location for the corporate headquarters to be right next to his house in Newport Beach.
How the fuck isn’t this stuff against business laws. How does this not break the fiduciary duty by self-dealing?
If what you’re saying is accurate then he’s a pro at creating parallel evidence.
Who am I kidding? Anyone who could bring a suit against the CEO probably doesn’t care.
wasteful hubristic meatballs
OC to Seattle, but yes. The guy didn't want to relocate from Newport Beach, so they bought him a jet to make his weekly "commute."
96 million could pay the salaries of basically 2000 baristas
Work Reform
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
