Starbucks says Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet
How do you boycott a company you already weren’t buying anything from?
Go there every day and ask for a water. It’s free, but you’re costing them a tiny amount each time.
The sooner we destroy all private jets the better.
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
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.
What helicopters and drones are flying over the ocean, across Europe, Africa and North America?
And what is a ‘courier craft’ do you mean a private airplane?
Private != Billionaire owned, it means a privately owned plane that flies general aviation (non FAR 121)
Transferring organs absolutely happens in private jets.
I think you might just not know what the term ‘private jet’ means.
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.
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.
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.
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
Next time Starbucks does a greenwashing campaign just think of this asshole drinking champagne while commuting on a private jet.
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!
Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!
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.
You could also record an in person meeting.
Zoom tells participants if the are being recorded by the zoom app.
I think these people just get off on having their fiefdom and serfs in person before them to pander and be sycophants.
