Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol puts company’s future at stake with major move

Starbucks CEO puts company’s future at stake with major move

The newly appointed CEO of Starbucks, Brian Niccol is likely to cost his company a hefty amount with his latest decision.

As reported by several outlets on Tuesday, Niccol will not be moving to Seattle where Starbucks headquarter is located, instead, he will be using firm’s private jet to commute from California to Seattle thrice a week.

Niccol’s offer letter which was made public in an SEC filing last week confirmed his commuting arrangements with the company while highlighting a shocking example of the hypocrisy of high-profile companies regarding climate change.

An insider at CNBC confirmed that Brian Niccol will be working from Starbucks’ Seattle office in remaining days of the week.

“Brian’s primary office and a majority of his time will be spent in our Seattle Support Center or out visiting partners and customers in our stores, roasteries, roasting facilities and offices around the world,” the source revealed.

“His schedule will exceed the hybrid work guidelines and workplace expectations we have for all partners,” they added.

Seattle Mariners acquire INF Buddy Kennedy from San Francisco

The Mariners have made the first move in what’s sure to be a rip-roaring Trade Deadline season, acquiring INF Buddy Kennedy from the Giants in exchange for cash considerations.

Kennedy was designated for assignment by San Francisco earlier this morning as outfielder Heliot Ramos returned from the Injured List.

The 5’10” infielder has spent most of the season with Triple-A Sacramento, hitting well, even for the PCL. He’s in the 78th percentile for xWOBA, has a nearly identical K% and BB% (12.6%/12.1%) and rarely whiffs. This all has come out to a .322 batting average and a 152 wRC+. He’s made just a minimal impression in the bigs this season, with 8 plate appearances in 7 games, and zero hits.
