Starbucks says incoming CEO Brian Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’s head office in Seattle on a corporate jet.
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.
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).

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.
