They are hired assasins. Like how they had special officers in WWII to commit the massacres
I worked there back in the early aughts. It actually was a cool retail job that paid reasonably well, a few dollars above minimum, and you got company stock, benefits, a free pound of coffee a week or box of tea, you were invited to company meetings, free drinks on shift, and we did all sorts of cool volunteer stuff, like with the food bank and habitat for humanity, and we would do coffee tastings at events, all sorts of things. It honestly was a fun job lots of the time. It’s so sad it’s turned into trash.
Shop local. It’s just coffee. Don’t let the marketers tell you any different. For sweet creamy syrupy treats go to the ice cream store. Let’s not support the current system of the bigwig at the top who does very little and reaps most of the rewards.
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.
Fair warning, if you’re brewing coffee at home it’s still possible to buy Starbucks.
Most of the coffee at Costco is just rebranded Starbucks beans. A lot of dark roast coffee is secretly shitty Starbucks beans. If it smells like cigarettes at any point, you’ve probably got Starbucks coffee.
The only reason i would go to a Starbucks is to look at the people working and buying coffee there. Or to meet a cute person behind the counter, but i have never nore will i spend money in that
I already have dirty toilet water at home, I don’t see why I would pay Starbucks for it.
Just for perspective here,
1000 * $15/hr = $15,000 / hr $96,000,000 / $15,000 / hour = 6,400 hours 6,400 hours / 40 hours / week = 160 weeks 160 weeks / 52.17857 weeks / year = 3.0663929655412174 yearsThey could afford to keep those employees on for another 3 Years with that amount.
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
That’s $96,000 per layed off worker
I guess it’s a good thing I make my own coffee at home. Bonus! It doesn’t taste like burnt bean water!
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!
Target rich environment
In the time of kings and lords, it got way, way worse than this.
Not saying we should wait that long now, just saying.
Starbucks gives the new CEO a $96 million bonus, then a month later, lays off 1,000+
workersPotential Luigis.FTFY.
We wish
Friendly reminder, comrades: There is no such thing as a good billionaire. From the East to the West, they are humanity’s enemy.
“Good billionaire” is an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp. You can be good, or a billionaire but not both. If you were good, you wouldn’t have a billion dollars.
Happy Cake Day!
So he literally stole their salaries. We can’t put up with millionair ceos anymore, it needs to be outlawed…
