They really can’t. If they keep this up with current profits the company will fold. All those who work at Starbucks for not the money but benefits, or education, will lose them and be back to 0. The company has lost a billion dollars taking care of their partners, hoping they will do the same as partners. Now is the time to step up and say thank you, not we demand more. As Starbucks has done more for its employees than any other major corporation. But I’m prepared for downvoted nonetheless.

Kevin Johnson was outspoken in April about how he could afford to pay partners through the end of the year if need be. My SM said Starbucks has catastrophe insurance which is how they were able to give us cat pay. They haven’t lost nearly as much money as you think they have. They are still the 3rd largest fast food corporation in the world. The drive thru stores are still extremely busy, and the second restrictions begin to lift, they will go back to making a SHIT TON of money. If you think Starbucks is unable to pay their partners more, you have no fucking idea how much money this giant corporations actually has.

People like you make me sad. Why wouldn’t you be pushing for better pay for your fellow partners? I’m grateful for what Starbucks has done during this difficult time of Covid-19 and the benefits they provide for us but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the means to pay us for the job we do. “While these are great benefits, we are not compensated fairly for the amount of work put into our stores and communities every single day, often barely making a couple dollars more than minimum wage. Meanwhile, our CEO Kevin Johnson received $19 million in compensation for 2019 and is expected to receive a $50 million bonus over the next few years if the company outperforms competitors.” I’m a single 24 year old participating in the ASU program. For the entire time I’ve worked at Starbucks I’ve had to work two jobs as to not be living paycheck to paycheck. I love the company and I have been a loyal partner for over 5 years but I guarantee you, I will not sit by idly any longer. We deserve to get paid better plain and simple and they’ve shown us they can provide. There will not be progress if there isn’t a push from within!

While there are things I dont agree with, I do not believe that Starbucks is financially in a position to be paying us more. My store is down 20% in sales and we have the best numbers in our region. Some things are feasible, this isnt as of now. Take note of any other fast food industry. None (to my knowledge) have just locked up and quit to ride this out. Sure, our situation isnt ideal, but it seems to be the best of the worst.

How does the rubber of Kevin Johnson's boot pair with a dark roast?

Is this Kevin Johnson’s burner account or something ?
