Starbucks plans to pay incoming CEO Brian Niccol $10 million in cash and $75 million in equity awards when he joins the company from Chipotle. Niccol will be paid a base salary of $1.6 million annually, with the opportunity to earn up to $7.2 million more in cash.
Why the fuck should they get 10x the salary? They aren’t doing 10x the work. Fuck em.
You can have a company without a CEO. You can’t have a company without the boots-on-the-ground employees
