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.
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.
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?
