So Starbucks’ CEO commutes to work by private jet? Let’s not pretend the super-rich care about the planet | Arwa Mahdawi

Then there’s the message this sends Niccol’s underlings at Starbucks, who are already unhappy about their commute to the office. A number of Starbucks corporate employees signed a petition last year asking the company to reverse what they called “an unforeseen and poorly planned ‘return to office’ mandate”. Around the same time that happened, Starbucks was facing allegations that it had intimidated and fired pro-union employees. Can’t have employees organising for better pay and working conditions! Not when you’ve got to make sure there’s enough spare cash to give Niccol a blockbuster pay deal worth up to $113m.
