Quit. The partners that don’t work as a team drag everyone else down.

I mean we’re given stock so we are actually “partners” in the company, at least that’s what I was told part of the reasoning is. If you don’t rely on the benefits, then I would suggest you quit because that is the redeeming part of working at Starbucks

At a previous job, we were called human capital.

I don't know why you're so bent out of shape about a company trying to be a little warmer to their employees.

it's all PR, don't listen to these zombies hehehe. The fact that you don't like that term doesn't make you anything less or not a team player. I'm with you, it's weird. But remember, Starbucks likes to paint the picture of "we're all equal, bLah blH blAh" when in fact, that ain't true lol
