For workers who would like to leave the company instead of going back to the office for an extra day, Starbucks is offering a one -time voluntary exit program with a cash payment, “said in one by CEO Brian Nicole. Letter to employees,
Nicole wrote in the announcement, “We understand that not everyone will agree with this approach.” “We have heard and thought carefully. But as a company built on human connection, and given the scale of further changes, we believe this is the right way for Starbucks.”
Under the leadership of Nikkol, the coffee series is trying to reverse its slipping American sales. His strategy has focused on simplifying the menu of the chain, improving the experience of the coffee shop and cutting the time of service into four minutes per drink.
Turnaround has also affected the company’s corporate workforce. Back in October, slightly more than Nicole’s tenure, Starbucks told the workers that they were in danger of being fired if they did not return to office three days a week. In February, company 1,100 jobs cut And that it would not fill hundreds of open positions as part of efforts to streamlin the operation of Nicole.
Starbucks had around 16,000 employees who work out of store locations like last year.
Nikkol, a long -standing southern California resident, did not need to move the headquarters of Starbucks at Seattle when the company hired it. In its resolution letter underlining its terms of its employment, the company promised to set up a small remote office in Newport Beach, California. These days, he mistakes for in-tradition work in Seattle when he is not traveling.
