Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

He was a union buster, that's why they brought him in. He's qualified to either break the unionization or destroy the company trying, and they are perfectly willing to destroy the company to stop the union. Why should they care? If they can't bust the union, sell off Starbucks to some private equity firm and liquidate the whole thing.
I really really hate living in the “strip the copper out of the walls” stage of capitalism this shit sucks ass
And also is he?? I would think if he successfully busted the union at Chipotle and it went great Chipotle wouldn’t have kicked him out for being so shit at his job. It sounds more like he tries to be a union buster but again, is bad at his job.
He shut down the stores that unionized and killed unionization momentum for years. Sure, Chipotle had to pay a pittance when the NLRB fined them but the company came out ahead there.
Why is he not still CEO of Chipotle then? That’s why I’m confused. If he did a good job, I would think he would still be in that position. But he got removed from that position, presumably because he did a “bad job” according to whatever metrics they’re using.
I would think if he did a successful job killing the union effort and Chipotle was doing great with him in charge he would still be in charge of Chipotle. I think I’ve heard Chipotle’s been on an upswing but that’s since he left which confirms to me that he was bad at it and that’s why they fired him.
His job was done. Now they bring in the nice and friendly CEO to tell workers "you don't need a union now that the mean CEO is gone!"
i think the corporate world literally sees these guys as "hatchet men" or "operators" or whatever buzzword. they exist only to destroy and move on.
thus they fit in somewhere in the ecosystem even though they are shit managers and executives.
He wasn't fired from his job as Chipotle CEO, he was hired away by Starbucks basically by giving him a shitload of power. He's generally seen as one of the best CEOs right now (best here meaning most bloodless ofc).
