Good. If you're going to require RTO, don't exempt higher ups from it. Looking at you, Starbucks

Starbucks' CEO famously commutes to Seattle from Newport Beach in California, which is like a thousand miles.

  Weekly in a private jet, while still having an at-home office for days he isn't in Seattle. All because he didn't want to relocate.

    And commuting in a private jet is either expensible or tax deductible, neither of which apply to actual commuters.

I'm watching Starbucks, like a hawk. I find this episode of their history rather interesting and I don't have warm fuzzies about this new CEO, yet. All these Chipotle people are showing up now. I hope they can innovate and iterate quickly. I remember the 1990s when it was common to see the same baristas day after day for years. Everyone seemed to enjoy working there. It's a bleak, dystopian contrast as of late.

  Not just Arkansas, but the company town in AR not near anything else of note. You want me to move to Austin... Maybe. My wife and I could make it work, probably. Bentonville, AR? Nah.
