    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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

    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?

    Friendly reminder, comrades: There is no such thing as a good billionaire. From the East to the West, they are humanity’s enemy.

    Cap the maximum compensation gap (including bonuses and stocks) between the highest paid and lowest paid person in a company at 1000:1. Any overpay goes into a UBI account that pays out equally to all.

      Should be 30 :1 on whichever is lower average or median salary and contractors count if they perform core business functions/work on location.

    Boycott what you don’t like. Vote with your money.

    Haven’t spent money in a Starbucks for over a decade…nor fast food chains, nor Walmart.

    Did do a few Amazon purchases a few years ago and I still feel guilty about it.
