Why be a disgruntled striking Starbucks worker when you can easily get a better job in the cafe and restaurant industry somewhere else?

I have empathy for striking Amazon workers who have to negotiate crowded streets, pee in a bottle as there are no restrooms, slippery steps, vicious dogs, etc.

Agreed that Amazon workers are treated terribly...even more so than Starbucks employees. But Amazon workers have affiliated with Teamsters. And any union that sides with Trump is on their own.

'Twas the Strike Before Christmas, when all through the shop,
No baristas were stirring, no one pushing a mop;
Grievances hung by the doorway to scare,
In hopes that the managers soon would be there;
The stockholders nestled all snug in their beds,
While spreadsheets of profits danced in their heads;
The union officials all taking a crap,
To then settle down for a long winter's fap.

“compensation package worth at least $113 million. It’s worth a shocking 10,000 times the median hourly wage for a barista”

Is it though? Assuming both put in 2000 hours per year, that’d be $56,500/hr. Minimum wage in Seattle is ~$20, so rough math yields about 2800x, not 10000x.
But is that fair? Not really. Starbucks base pay is $1.6M/year. Expected bonus is $3.6M-$7.2M (let’s estimate the midpoint of $5.4M). There was also a signing bonus of $10M which isn’t recurring annually. And equity that’s worth somewhere between nothing and $100M, but this isn’t guarantee or even expected, plus CEOs can’t really sell this stock without making the company look bad. The best estimate for comparison is the recurring guaranteed base pay + bonus number, $7.1M. That yields a pay differential between CEO and barista of about 177.5. Not 10,000 as the barista claims.

The democrats have paid good money for a lot of years for those endorsements. Shame on the Teamsters for not staying bought.
Also, the food service industry or any industry that interacts with the public sucks. I don’t care who you work for. If you go to work at a Starbucks or any kind of business that serves food expecting a glamorous work environment and a good work life balance, you’re in for a rude awakening.
Don’t like it? Either start your own company and show everyone how it’s done, or expand your skill set and get a better job.
