Workers need board seats and this asshole is an example of why
I was just thinking this the other day. S&p 500 companies need a percentage worker representation on the board or the company pays more tax with more oversight. All those companies need to provide onboard training for unionization, meeting site and/or time to have meeting, and board reps are voted by workers without influence from corporate. I’d love to see board members pay released to employees with a percentage cap above median salary.
Brian Niccol uses the jet to commute almost 1,000 miles (1,600km) from his family home in Newport Beach, California, to the firm’s headquarters in Seattle.
Until September, his personal use of the plane was limited to an annual cap, after which he was required to reimburse the company.
But Starbucks said it had been lifted after a security review recommended he use it for all air travel due to increased media attention and “credible threat actors”. The arrangement will now be reviewed every three months.
He’s afraid of being attacked over Zoom? He’s the fucking CEO. If he wants to take all his meetings on Zoom he gets all his meetings on Zoom.
But then he’d be a hypocrite for requiring everyone else to report to the office. So he’ll just take the private jet instead.
I swear I read he previously stopped jet commuting because sbucks bought him a personal office near his house. Hm.
I think that was his previous job, yeah?
Had to check - nah, starbucks both built an office, and he bought a second house in Seattle. But starbucks now says he’s not spending time in the office anyway, so he needs the jet… Absurd.
I’m not SAYING that I hope he dies in a fire. But I wouldn’t be bothered.
Alright, i say it
Statistically speaking, if that happened, the company’s carbon footpring would go down…
Only until he’s replaced.
Pretty sure the coffee is still gonna get made if he croaked.
How is his own security and not using his own money to reimburse the flights related?
I have to pay extra taxes to help the environment and I am forced to drive 2 hours every day to the office because assholes like this exist.
Can we eat the fucking rich yet?
Did he do the little nod to get a higher fuel limit? Is this how it worked for him at Chipotle?
A month? How much flight time is that?
