  1. Gross. And all that on top of all the emissions he caused via Chipotle customers for years…

  3. On a private jet on the company dime no doubt. Meanwhile employees need to clock out in order to take a shit, probably. When are we as a society going to actually eat the rich?

  4. What a selfish and entitled goober. I hope this ends poorly for him.

  5. It’s ok. We have paper straws now, that should offset his daily private jet commute.

  6. He’s probably got skeletons in his closets at Newport Beach. That’s why he doesn’t want to move. I mean, pay me that amount and I’ll move. It’d be easy!

  8. Boycott Starbucks and any other company that behaves like this. They are only good for overpriced caffeinated milkshakes anyway.

  9. Seems like poor leadership before even making it to the office

  11. That’s is why policies should be enforced. These people don’t even think about anything other than themselves

  12. Isn’t this the CEO they hired to be more brutally anti-union after the shareholders somehow decided the previous one was being too union friendly?

  13. I liked him better when he just wrote those peanuts cartoons in the newspaper

  14. This commute alone puts out way more pollution than my car does probably in a month but I STILL feel like shit for what I do to the planet. But this is okay with the powers at be.

  15. I once met the head of a research laboratory who used to run his lab in the UK. But his wife got a job in Scandinavia (I can’t remember which country – one of these that invaded England in the 9th-10th century), and he commuted by plane. But… (1) he did it using Ryanair, and (2) he paid for it with his own money. It’s not the most environmentally conscious choice; also, I’m convinced his lab work suffered from undermanagement (you know, long unresolved conflicts, lagging decision-making, not being fully aware what was the mood and dynamics in his team, etc.)

  16. Gonna superstay in his supercondo while he’s there, too.

    Be sure to get the superhookers with the superblow.

  17. I know other people that commute to work via plane from Seattle to LA. So wasteful.

  18. We can give everybody (globally) an annual, non transferable co² budget of 4 ton and be done with these jokers. We really could.

  19. In other words he’ll be flying his private plane there, well isn’t that lovely….

  20. Meanwhile, regular workers are being told they can’t work remotely

  22. Disgusting. Wish we could heavily tax them for behavior like this.
