jerryskids 6,794 Posted February 24 Looks like they had a glut of people in "corporate support" positions. Perhaps a few DEI folks? Also some pretend corporate finance execs? Quote As of last September, Starbucks employed around 361,000 workers globally and 211,000 in the US. A majority of staff are in-store employees who will not be impacted by this layoff. Rather, the layoffs will affect those in Starbucks' 16,000 corporate support roles. Employees who work in roasting, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations, which are also considered corporate support, will not be impacted.

I think there is a difference with a career civil service employee who has been there for years (in some cases decades) being let go only because they are not a Republican or Trump loyalist and a barista at the local Starbucks.

Then you can't say that all of these federal workers are being let go because of their political affiliation; you don't know. So I go and lose my job of 30 plus years with a large financial firm, but no one feels bad. I just need to "work harder" or "go get a new job." But these federal employees it's just.....different?

I think you are misplacing your hatred. The Republicans are the party of "just work harder" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and "probably DEI anyway". It's liberals that have empathy.
