Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Starbucks Tells Staff: Return to Office or Take a Payout
Caption: Starbucks Tells Staff: Return to Office or Take a Payout. Starbucks is mandating corporate staff return to the office four days a week—or accept a severance package and leave. Starting in October, employees in the U.S. and Canada must work on-site Monday through Thursday, increasing from the current three-day requirement. The policy shift comes as Starbucks faces falling sales and broader challenges. CEO Brian Niccol said the move is needed to drive the company's turnaround and boost collaboration. Some managers will also be required to relocate to company hubs in Seattle or Toronto. Notably, Niccol himself recently purchased a home in Seattle, despite having a contract allowing him to work from California. This is the latest in a growing trend of companies dialing back remote work, joining names like Amazon and JP Morgan. Earlier this year, Starbucks also cut over 1,000 jobs and reversed its open café policy, which had previously allowed non-customers to stay and use facilities.
