Starbucks' New CEO Is Supercomputing 1,000 Miles on a Corporate Jet Instead of Moving to Seattle
Newly appointed Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol will not be required to relocate to the company’s headquarters in Seattle. Instead, he will commute from his home in Newport Beach, California, using a corporate jet. His work arrangement highlights the growing trend of "supercommuting" among top executives, increasingly negotiating flexible work conditions. This reflects a broader shift in corporate attitudes toward remote work, especially for senior-level employees, as companies compete to attract top talent.
