Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating - SLRPNK

> 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

Don’t worry, he probably has some arrangement to only go like once. A month.

Per the article, he's required to be onsite 3 days a week

In the offer letter, Starbucks also notes that it will set up a remote office for Niccol in Newport Beach along with an assistant of his choosing.
When he is not traveling for work, however, Niccol will still be expected to work from the Seattle office at least three days a week in alignment with Starbucks’ hybrid work policies, a company spokesperson tells CNBC Make It.

That’s some ridiculous micro management of a CEO. Didn’t expect to see that in a contract for someone at that level.
It seems more like he isn't an exception to the hybrid work policy that applies to everyone else. Although it notes "when not traveling for work", so chances are he'll be flying all over the place anyway for unnecessary meetings and schmoozing sessions. Or whatever else a CEO can't do remotely
Also what are the odds they’re gonna be paying for all the flights.
100%, that’s basically the entire point of a company jet.
