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.

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

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

Maybe we need Mario now?

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 21 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 7 points 6 hours ago

Pretty sure a good portion of that was union busting, but that's what we're all about now.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago

This would not shock me in the slightest

[-] Geodad@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

I guess it’s a good thing I make my own coffee at home. Bonus! It doesn’t taste like burnt bean water!

[-] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 21 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

That's $96,000 per layed off worker

[-] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 21 points 12 hours ago

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.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago

There's absolutely no way he's adding enough value compared to Joe MBA to justify that compensation.

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

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?

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 27 points 15 hours ago

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?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Capitalism has no face to punch

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

It has many!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

In the time of kings and lords, it got way, way worse than this.

Not saying we should wait that long now, just saying.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Should be 30 :1 on whichever is lower average or median salary and contractors count if they perform core business functions/work on location.

[-] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 29 points 17 hours ago

So he literally stole their salaries. We can't put up with millionair ceos anymore, it needs to be outlawed..

[-] Billybob22@feddit.uk 23 points 17 hours ago

Don't use Starbucks anymore. It's American

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Don't use Charbucks anymore. It's shit coffee

[-] Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] aeternum 2 points 6 hours ago

I've literally only bought two things from amazon, ever. I feel bad about it to this day :/

[-] MooseyMoose@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

There ain't no smile in those eyes. Creepy AF.

Had to get the money from somewhere. Just like Trump. Fire a bunch of workers for the tax cut payments to billionaires. Like clockwork.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 32 points 20 hours ago

This is the guy that commutes from LA to Seattle on a private jet?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, same guy who fired nearly everyone at the Chipotle corporate office in Denver so he didn't have to commute.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

That's.....man I hope you're wrong as that's awful.

[-] vfsh 5 points 14 hours ago

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.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

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.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] tischbier@feddit.org 1 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 18 hours ago

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
