I’m sorry, if you aren’t willing to relocate, you are not a good fit for the company.

I heard this in a job interview and the position was disclosed as remote.

Scolding7300 ,

I don’t understand why can’t the CEO be remote. They can buy all their important staff Apple Vision Pros if they’d like and it’ll still be cheaper than this

bluemellophone ,

That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.

I’m sure that private (meaning small) jets can have valid use cases, it’s the abuse by the rich that is the problem.

“Private” doesn’t mean “small”. It means “privately owned”, which means by a rich person.

abfarid ,
@abfarid@startrek.website avatar

Even if we are talking about specifically jets that are owned privately, they could have legit use cases. It’s the abuse that is the issue. I agree with the whole “eat the rich” sentiment, but that’s a separate issue. In the system where rich people exist, the problem is abuse.

barsquid ,

I vote for we start destroying the private jets without reservation and if we encounter a legitimate use case we’ll deal with it at that time.

But that won’t solve anything. That’s like treating diabetes by drinking diet soda.

P00ptart ,

That worked for me, that and sugar free Gatorade. Took me down from 8.3 to 4.5 without insuline. That being said, I’m an anomaly in that I don’t eat much processed food or bread. Just a really bad pop addiction.

Mouselemming ,

Many could be refitted for worthy uses like fighting wildfires and transporting patients

brbposting ,

Legit use cases… Make A Wish comes to mind, but maybe that’d be a corporate jet or not a traditionally-private jet.

Any exemptions for sports teams or anything? VIPs whose lives are at risk through no real fault of their own…

rainynight65 ,

What you’re describing are use cases for charter flights - renting an aircraft for a specific, temporary purpose, usually from a company specialising in such flights - they own or lease the aircraft and employ the flight crew and maintenance staff.

There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.

The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.

There isn’t much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though

Rakonat ,

Transporting organs doesn’t happen on Private Jets, helicopters and courier craft typically do the job. It’s also now well within the possibility for medium sized drones to be able to rapdily move something the size of an organ container reliably long distance, faster and more efficient than a jet can load, fuel, taxi, land and unload.

Private Jets are just luxury items of the rich, and are the carbon equivalent of burning down small forests or power a small town with coal burning. There is nothing they do that can’t be done more efficiently by a drone or helicopter for a fraction of the emissions.

They got their CEO to-go

I wonder what happened to all the Chipotle head office employees who had to relocate to be near this guy now that he bounced

then there’s always the possibility you might end up next to Tom Cruise to make it worse

Lost_My_Mind ,

So, you’re going to continue to increase climate change, rather than just using a zoom call. GOD DAMN CEOS!!! Why the hell is return to office so important to you assholes??? Just do a god damned video call!

CaptDust ,

Have you considered the culture ?? Hmmm???

Milksteaks ,

Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!

topherp ,

Cubicles? You mean open plan office space for better collaboration!

Karyoplasma ,

Self-preservation. If they stay at home for too long, they’ll get sued for domestic violence.

ashok36 ,

A zoom call has the possibility of being recorded. I’m 90% sure at this point all these execs insist on in person meetings is so they can plan and discuss illegal and unethical shit without worry.

I’m only in middle management and I know I feel the difference in the way I talk about things on zoom calls VS in person.

mavu ,

Calling it “supercommute” is such a stupid thing. It should be called “stupidcommute” or maybe “commoronute”.

There ya go

How do you boycott a company you already weren’t buying anything from?

LostXOR ,

Go there every day and ask for a water. It's free, but you're costing them a tiny amount each time.

Quill7513 ,

Oh I was gonna recommend arson. Maybe your plan is better

nolefan33 ,

Your plan is certainly quicker, which is an upside.

SpaceNoodle ,

Well you gotta use up all their water first

Free water, arson, bricks, and bullhorns. With these four powers combined, I am… Captain Protest!

Don’t worry, he probably has some arrangement to only go like once. A month.

lilbirddog ,

Try once a week! He will have to be in Seattle three days a week to conform to Starbucks’ remote/hybrid work policy.

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Per the article, he's required to be onsite 3 days a week

In the offer letter, Starbucks also notes that it will set up a remote office for Niccol in Newport Beach along with an assistant of his choosing.
When he is not traveling for work, however, Niccol will still be expected to work from the Seattle office at least three days a week in alignment with Starbucks’ hybrid work policies, a company spokesperson tells CNBC Make It.

jonne ,

That’s some ridiculous micro management of a CEO. Didn’t expect to see that in a contract for someone at that level.

subignition ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

It seems more like he isn't an exception to the hybrid work policy that applies to everyone else. Although it notes "when not traveling for work", so chances are he'll be flying all over the place anyway for unnecessary meetings and schmoozing sessions. Or whatever else a CEO can't do remotely

Riven ,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Also what are the odds they’re gonna be paying for all the flights.

SpaceNoodle ,

A “remote office” in his backyard, no doubt.

demizerone ,

I have to dry my clothes between 12am and 3pm and this m’fer gets to fly a jet to work. Private jets along with luxury yachts are things humanity shouldn’t have.

Gosh. Thinking about all the time I wasted on the damn bus today made this sting more than usual.

Imgonnatrythis ,

I stopped using plastic straws at Starbucks. If enough of you join me we can compensate for an entire weeks worth of the carbon footprint of this very important man.

assembly ,

The article says when he started at Chipotle they were headquartered in Denver but dickbag moved it to Newport Beach so it was closer. Guessing the same thing will happen to Starbucks. He will (randomly) decide that Newport Beach is a better location for a global coffee chain than Seattle.

nokturne213 ,

Was this the tiny portions chipotle ceo?

thefartographer ,

This is it, y’all! This is the one.

No political messaging, no debatable tech contribution, no societal contribution, the company will be fine because they change CEOs like I change my underwear.

I think everyone can agree, this is the one we eat. It’s time to send a message and enjoy a damn fine meal.

Blackout ,

Next time Starbucks does a greenwashing campaign just think of this asshole drinking champagne while commuting on a private jet.
