Starbucks' New CEO to Supercommute 1,000 Miles from California to Seattle
- Brian Niccol, the newly appointed CEO of Starbucks, will commute from Newport Beach, California to Seattle instead of relocating.
- Niccol will use a corporate jet for his 1,000-mile commute and will work from the Seattle office at least three days a week.
- His compensation package includes a $1.6 million base salary, potential annual bonuses up to $7.2 million, and equity awards worth up to $23 million.
- Niccol previously negotiated a similar arrangement when he became CEO of Chipotle, leading to the company's headquarters moving closer to his home.
- This trend of flexible work arrangements for top executives highlights the growing disparity in bargaining power between high-ranking executives and average employees.
