There is no way he's providing a value-add worth that compensation. Fucking absurd.

I was at Chipotle when he was named CEO. Dude came in, coasted off the existing programs we had in place, and tried his best to figured out a way to get something like Doritos Locos Tacos (which they implemented when he was the CEO of Taco Bell).

Ultimately, he contributed nothing expect closing the Denver Corporate Headquarters, laying off hundreds of employees in the process, and moving it to Newport Beach so he didn't have to commute from his beach home.

Edit: Forgot to add that he made tens of millions of dollars in the process.

PE/OpEx/OEE doesn't exist above the bottom floor otherwise it would be massively obvious where to actually save money.

I'm just expressing my love for Nintendo, and Marvel, which is owned by Disney. It would be so super cool if they did a collaboration ♥

There's no way the CEO is worth that much.

They could pay their workers more, their executives less (but still probably too much), and then there wouldn't be a problem.

I won't mourn the next CEO like this that gets visited by Saint Luigi. They could have chosen a different path.

Making 57000 an hour sounds pretty dope. A couple of weeks and I'm super retiring

Seems like the board of Starbucks needs to be deposed as well.

Just remember, in the past when companies didn't negotiate with unions and stonewalled, workers would go burn their boss's house down. Starbucks is doing the first part, are they prepared for the possibility of the second?

One drink per week?? When I worked there it was one drink per shift

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Not literally 1 drink a week. They're saying for the average employee, $0.40/hr would afford them enough to buy 1 drink per week.

They don't get free drinks?

Don't just buy local... work local.

Unfortunately usually people who work for Starbucks don't have an abundance of choices.

The union should strike and ask for 57k per hour for everyone.
