Isn't the CEO commuting from LA to Seattle by private jet every day because his kids don't want to change school or something?

Layoffs are next. That's the how these things go.

Empty office buildings make for poor sales numbers in the stores that are in the lobby.

A fucking coffee company turning into a global capitalist hydra and having more clout than nation states is like peak futurama shit.

Fuck every corp. Every single one is evil. End corps

Nobody against remote work should be trusted to make any decision about anything.

Starbucks has turned into the 7-Eleven of coffee. It’s uncomfortable, not particularly clean, and you only go inside to use the bathrooms.

I stopped in at an airport the other day and they told me there would be a 15 minute wait for drinks from the time you placed your order. There were 4 people working, one was talking on her phone the whole time she was making drinks. I just went to the next coffee shop instead.

It’s not hard to see why Starbucks is in decline.

Boycott these bastards

We'll post a new office address each morning at 8 a.m., if you're not in by 9 a.m. you're fired. Good luck, and god speed.

At Seattle or Toronto's price point, I think it's likely a staff reduction by other means... That is unless the employees ignore it. https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/new-data-shows-workers-are-mostly-ignoring-return-to-office-orders/91202144

Looks like the smart ones will get a little severance:

Niccol said affected workers who choose not to relocate will be eligible for a one-time voluntary exit program with a cash payment.

On an unrelated note, if a significant portion of your job can be replaced by AI then your job can be done remotely because AI has no "office culture" (even though that's a weak bullshit reason for RTO to begin with).

Suprised starbucks had remote workers to begin with
