Starbucks calls corporate employees back to the office — or take a payout

Starbucks Corp. wants its corporate employees to spend more time in the office. And it’s not an option.  The coffee giant said the employees will have to work in the office a minimum of four days a week — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — starting in October.  The new requirement (up from a previous one of three days) applies to workers in Starbucks’s Seattle and Toronto support centers as well as North America regional offices.  In a letter to employees, Brian Niccol, the former Chipotle chief who took the reins at Starbucks in September 2024, said that the company was reestablishing its in-office culture because “we do our best work when we’re together. We share ideas more effectively, creatively solve hard problems, and move much faster. “
