Work Reform

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.

They are hired assasins. Like how they had special officers in WWII to commit the massacres

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.

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 years

They could afford to keep those employees on for another 3 Years with that amount.

Looks like Luigi got another flag to reach

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.

That's $96,000 per layed off worker

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.

I guess it’s a good thing I make my own coffee at home. Bonus! It doesn’t taste like burnt bean water!

There's absolutely no way he's adding enough value compared to Joe MBA to justify that compensation.

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?

Starbucks gives the new CEO a $96 million bonus, then a month later, lays off 1,000+ ~~workers~~ Potential Luigis.

FTFY.
