It's almost like CEOs are largely irrelevant and could be replaced with a voting system
I wouldn’t really care about him traveling, just make him take the responsibility for the produced emissions.
Tbh, everyone should take responsibility for their emissions. That includes billionaires, as well as working class. I believe it would be a correct approach to the environmental issue.
The Hunger Games are revealing themselves folks.
Would be a benefit for the environment if he'd supercrash.
Our system is insane. CEOs do the least amount of work and adds NO value. Why do they get more pay than someone who provides actual value? The people with the hardest jobs should have the highest pay.
Yes, because leading a company is a trivial job every 3 year old can do.
ceo is literally the only job that can be fully replaced by the "ai" at the moment with no loss of performance whatsoever
Capitalists in general can be replaced with AI and this is what freaks them out about it. AI makes having a secretary affordable now. An advertiser. Someone to draft rough legal documents. A brainstorming team. Etc.
So why there are still many CEOs? I think shareholders would welcome saving some money and using AI to run their company.
maybe they just didn't get that idea yet... let's start ceoGPT Inc. and ride the AI craze to riches. I'll be the CEO.
"if this is my commute, there's no reason for anyone to be remote"
A few questions here:
- Why the fuck does Starbucks have a corporate jet? I know they're a global company, but surely the CEO doesn't need to be abroad that often?
- Why would a company subsidise travel for a CEO to the tune of (likely) as much as he would get paid in a salary? If I were to tell my employer "I want to supercommute it'll cost you $100k" I'd be laughed out. Hell, if I asked for $100 I'd probably be laughed out of the room...
Jets aren't even remotely cheap to run. They cost millions, they cost tens of thousands to operate, and that doesn't include personnel costs or costs regarding runway rental or the kind of shit a CEO would need while in the air.
Also, how many million tonnes of CO2 will this dump into the high atmosphere every year?
This is an unfortunately normal perk for c-level execs at major corporations. I’d be surprised if Starbucks only had one. He also most certainly has a driver (likely with military experience), and an apartment at the Ritz or similar in Seattle - all covered by the company.
For the reasons you mentioned I would hope this just means chartering flights. Owning a jet seems like the entire purpose is to flaunt how much money you can spend frivolously.
Guess what C-level execs like to do?
There was a real estate group I was interviewing with a while ago that was not particularly big and they owned a jet. Obviously not a 737 or anything but Bombardier makes jets that are smaller. Still expensive to run but C-level execs have convinced idiot boards members (who also ride around on the keys) that they are totally necessary.
I bet he won't be fired if his plane is delayed 20 minutes. Unlike a barista who got stuck in traffic.
We don't need to make up new words to normalize an obnoxious asshole exercising his wealth in a vulgar display of maleficence towards the environment.
10$ says Elon Muks will try to make SUPERCOMMUTE happen 🤪🫠🙄
If you look at his flight records, motherfucker does not even supercommute. Many of his flights are simply across town. It's nuts how wasteful he is with flying.
No, he'll call it something much stupider like "Gigacommute"
Xommute
This commute is just salary.. the CEO should at least be charged the cost of the travels as income and taxed accordingly.
Psssst.... Starbucks... You're doing it wrong.
CARBON: 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Starbucks direct operations and value and supply chain.
That isn't "supercommuting", it's "stupidcommuting".
I'm surprised by this because what rich guy wouldn't want to shift his income from a state with one of the highest if not the highest tax rate at his level of income to a state with no income tax?
It doesn't matter that the income will be sourced in Washington. He lives in California, and by that, the franchise tax board is hyper aggressive in getting their cut.
Note that the equity awards mentioned are taxable as well.
I guess rto is hitting everybody
Hmm i live 1000 miles from work, which do i do: literally use technology that works at the speed of light(internet) or burn a shitton of fuel and propel myself at high speeds towards the building where i work. I think the answer is obvious.
Or third option, move. And there's always the default option, don't work there
He needs to be tried as a war criminal
