Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz says 'I'll get on my knees' and 'do whatever you want' pleading with workers to return to the office

Speaking at The New York Times's DealBook policy forum in Washington, DC, on Thursday, Schultz — whoafter Kevin Johnson stepped down from the role — said swaying staffers away from remote work and back to the office hasn't been productive.

He continued:"No, they are not coming back at the level I want them to. And, you know, we're a very collaborative, creative group. I realize I'm an old-school person and this is a different generation." Starbucks did not immediately respond to Insider's request to comment on Schultz's statements or the company's remote work policies.

When workers wanting to unionize said “suck our dicks” they were speaking metaphorically, Howard.

Give them a choice and a deadline. Your Company, your Employees, they work for you!

It’s simple. Give them a timeframe to be in the office or so that old fashioned thing called FIRE THEM”. There are still people willing to work other than at home as long as the money is there.

🤔 Go back to work or go to the unemployment office. And BTW, you’re ineligible for rehire.

When you go woke you get woke useless employees

First of all,You've just lost all the Respect from your Employees that you may have had.Why don't you just quit yourself.Sounds like they want to run the company.Most Employees today have Little to Know work Ethic.They think because they can Fog a mirror,they Deserve to get paid.

You stood to the side and caved to that Woke BS and now you’re paying the price. It’s now time to Boycott Starbucks and finish them off.

Howard - you created the culture of being lazy and staying home - you are the leader STOP begging and be a leader - you all have to come in to the office or you will be terminated period!! Stop coddling

With the price of gas, it’s no wonder people don’t want to sit in rush hour traffic and burn up their gas let alone drive back and forth to work when the plandemic showed them they could work from home. It’s the ushering in of a new era.

LOL, just say you're FIRED! That'll get there attention!

Left Starbucks when I streamlined their Store Dev process & made them ~$25 million over 5 years. Asked for a raise. Didn’t get it. Asked for vacation. Didn’t get it. Boss finally felt bad & got me a $20 Target card.

Please? How about you tell them to, take a pay 20% pay cut, or to find a new job...

I mean just Google “Starbucks Homeless Harassment Reddit” and sift through thousands of stories from employees detailing sexual assault, assault, harassment, drug use in the bathroom, feces clean-up, etc.

There are many willing to work overtime for you Schultz. And they will make your tasteless & broken stores the best again. You will have to let the lazy 'play pretend' somewhere else. Why would anyone come to your dirty stores when they have Minuti and the like?

And there it is. In plain site. Flexibility is offered until it’s not. Hybrid is offered until it’s not. Focusing on measurable results (100% accountability + 100% autonomy) does not go away or get old.

Except, y'know, treat employees like human beings. That he won't do.

Pay uk tax?

It takes me an hour to get ready, an hour to get to desk, 45 min to come back & 30 min to rest!Thats 3 hours of Of my 18 hour time. in office ppl catch me for random conversation that I cannot end. Going to work for townhall and big meetings is Ok otherwise it is waste of time!

Pathetic !

You gotta go down to go up, as they say.

I don’t understand why people are so against working from home⁉️ There are too many ways to track productivity‼️ If people are doing their jobs there is no need to bring them back‼️ This antiquated notion of working in an office or not have flexibility is ridiculous‼️

This is the funniest. The most liberal siding company on the planet are getting eaten by their own.

Is he at the office?

🤔😵‍💫

Starbucks stores are losing customers everyday. Empty shelves. Horrible customer service. Go woke Go broke

All kinds of food with drinks. Ordinary and unattractive StarbucksSummer

Willing to blow everyone for the betterment of the company, can be argued that it is a strong leader trait.

$25/hr & healthcare.
