Newly appointed Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol won’t be required to relocate to the company’s headquarters in Seattle when he joins the coffee giant next month.

Instead, 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, according to the new CEO’s offer letter, which was made public in an SEC filing last week.

In his new role, Niccol, 50, will be paid a base salary of $1.6 million annually and has the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus that could range from $3.6 million to $7.2 million depending on his performance. He will also be eligible for annual equity awards worth up to $23 million.

The climate crisis could be solved with probably just a single guillotine.

Axes are more portable, and the turn around rate is faster. Just saying.

I’m intrigued by both of your suggestions and wish to subscribe to your newsletters.

“Your honor, the defendant qualified their statement with the phrase “just sayin.” Clearly they cannot be prosecuted and this case must be dismissed.

Bold of you to assume the people who replace the billionaires we kill would be better

They never said the guillotine wouldn't be a permanent fixture.

and a sharpening stone is pretty cheap.

alternatively, a blunt blade might be a better motivator.

I used to have a bagel guillotine. Sometimes it would catch and you'll have to take a second go at it, but you know what? It always made it through in the end.

I'm sorry, do you need to be reminded how the French Revolution ended?

........with cookies and hearty "Well done, lads"?

Right after the revolution leader and most of its top brass got sent through the guillotine, yeah

In Ministry for the Future, the opposition to this garbage is successful by bringing down a few choice flights with drone swarms, then announcing more will come to those who dare.
