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.

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.

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.

If what you’re saying is accurate then he’s a pro at creating parallel evidence.

I'm theory, the board of directors is supposed to keep a CEO in check if they do something that is against the best interest of the shareholders. But the share price actually went up after he made this move.

Same reason share prices often go up when a company announces layoffs. The market isn't always tied to how well a business is run.
