Starbucks CEO Almost Never Works Past 6 p.m.

[@nicolelovesbiggie2269]

And now he’s been replaced

[@sansin6250]

With a guy who never goes to office away from home 😜

[@1anre]

What does that tell you as an employee

[@loinatden]

😂😂😂

[@Metheeruetaichetcharoen]

Now he’s got his unemployed life perfectly balanced-what a genius move.

[@Madzguy007]

As a ceo, he probably walked away with millions... So yeah!

[@jayfloramusic]

Are you dumb? Unemployed? He was a CEO. He will have hundreds of jobs lined up. Most probably doesn't even need to work, he must have so much money already.

[@eeship]

And then all those Starbucks employees who have to work way past 6pm …

[@pvo983]

Maybe because Laxman doesn’t have to serve coffee?

[@Peteryzhang]

The guy who destroyed Starbucks, worst CEO ever, but seems he's quite enjoying his role.

[@_thomas_xc]

Though exactly the same Thing 😂

[@Josh-tf9cr]

this guy is peak wokeness

[@browsedeweb8834]

This isn't a leader. This is a poor philosopher.

[@_thomas_xc]

@@browsedeweb8834he got replaced 🥳

[@jerryhello]

@@Josh-tf9cr what a dumb commeent

[@monkeybunny89]

He sleeps while his workers work late with no benefits. Shame on this man

[@sp1nks248]

This is what got him fired.

[@chissupa1]

exactly..he looks like a weak leader.... good executive, but not enough for a CEO

[@kashmoney1]

For past 6:00 p.m. he has no job now

[@sunnyserai5886]

That’s typical for all 95% CEO in this USA country. They all work lite and cash in huge. He was just being honest.

[@oneforallah]

not true at all Sundar Pichai revealed her works through the day till night.

[@praveensg]

How many CEOs have you worked with?

[@itsadamtruitt]

This should be the last type of interview for a CEO who oversees a food industry company who’s stock is also plummeting and already has a bad image amidst their workforce. This is about as tone deaf as it gets.

[@lennard3204]

Haha 😂

[@jasondpa]

This is his insurance against layoff. If he got laid off, he got a handsome severance package because he can say “look, I try to enforce work life balance on my life and got fired for that”

[@prettypenny2353]

When the performance of your company is shitting such talk is not appreciated. Now if the company was doing great and the stock was going ballistic, people would be impressed.

[@sansin6250]

I bet this was recorded earlier, after he was newly hired. No way he would say all this with his a$$ on fire.

[@neilmenon8943]

Dude the stock is diving fire this guy

[@Avrakadavra1418]

Fo real….

[@TheArk12345]

Done !

[@ckPinson-n4j]

he clearly never drank starbucks

[@Subotai111]

I like to "meditate" aka sleep during work.

[@muhammadhaseeb4692]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@pradpradprad1]

It feels to me that a section of society is happy that an Indian ceo got fired.

[@GGTanguera]

What a capacity! After removing him the Starbucks stock jumped 25% 😅😊

[@jonc1991]

He’s been promoted to customer

[@MOJOJONO]

Basically, the way the stock rocketed higher when he left today (august 13, 2024 and replace with chipotle CEO) shows don’t do what he does?

[@muhammadhaseeb4692]

😂😂😂

[@kevin-jm3qb]

why don't you give your workers more money?

[@OhioVworld]

Bc they’re unskilled workers working for a publicly traded company.

[@sansin6250]

That's why they had to raise prices, which led to their downfall. A publicly traded company has to show increasing profit margins. The new CEO they hired, will get paid 5 times more than the old CEO, so now they have to raise prices even more to afford him 😆

[@AkashYadavOriginal]

Now he can meditate from the moment he wakes up till the time he goes back to sleep. Although he has made enough money to never work again. This is the reason why big companies fail. They are so big and very slow to react. He should've been replaced the day his interview came out. But he had enough time to accumulate enough fortune to last generations. While destroying the stock price.

[@gregmolnar6318]

It's so impressive that he shows up to meetings early. I wonder if he waits in his freezing cold car in the dead of winter for his co-workers to show up to walk into the building? Maybe he would allow us to meditate between customers in drive-thru during peak?

[@adriannaarumugam2819]

This interview did not age well. 😅

[@jasonmcnulty630]

i just worked 56 hours last week, 16 of those were unpaid

[@Madzguy007]

Are you a slave? They have your hand and feet tied to a chain?

[@translash]

a CEO talking about "work-life" balance does not deserve to be CEO

[@wilho999]

Wtf are you talking about?

[@michaelfriend3990]

Anyone working past 6PM should be this guy. I give him another year.

[@americanaboy3581]

right on !!! the kicked him out 😂

[@Money8OOST]

Oh? Just sold my Starbucks shares👍

[@travisogden9426]

Oh so he does know what work-life balance is

[@TheMoneyMakingMentor]

Why is that an issue. I have seen managers that stayed late because they had no family to go home to or were divorced

[@yampipampi]

He never said he doesn't work past 6pm - he said that it needs to be a high bar and something important if it's keeping him away from family. Essentially, he doesn't do busy work or non-essential work during this time. Also most CEOs do this - or have this part of their daily schedule. The portrayal has been that he does absolutely nothing after 6pm under any circumstances.

[@harukrentz435]

Most CEOs works 24 hrs a day, means they are accessible all the time.

[@andrewtanoto333]

maybe that is why Starbucks is tanking 😂 Howard Schultz gonna be back in less than 12 months

[@Souleyblanc]

Well, now you got fired!

[@johnrubalcaba]

Do you get up at 3 am to be at a store to open it? Schultz was the shit!

[@RoyFJ65]

Now he has enough time to meditate.

[@caspermm493]

No store should be open past 6 then if this guy isn't willing to work past then himself

[@sherrys.2259]

Yesterday I ordered coffee -- a vanilla bean with one shot of espresso. It was $7. I asked, "why so much," and the attendant said: " because you added a shot of coffee." I then said: "but I only wanted one shot, not two. He said, well, the base "drink doesn't have coffee." He stated that they "pump" coffee flavor into the vanilla bean, and that the real coffee shot would be extra! I'm like -- I don't want a pump. This is why Starbucks will fail.

[@bigblackron]

I impulse bought one of their sugary drinks a few months ago, and i thought it tasted artificial. I would go a few times a week before they raised prices. service is a problem as well. My book store has a Starbucks, but the staff are so overworked, Its less stress to walk across the street to McDs a grab a coffee.

[@americanprincess851]

He shouldn’t have used the word “pump” since it was a shot of espresso added to your drink.

[@firebrand3515]

So replacing the CEO is not the solution. It lies elsewhere.

[@PolybiusUSA]

LMFAO

[@angelvaldez8048]

I have been a customer of Starbucks for over 10 years. I go to Starbucks at least once a day: I go through the drive-thru and get a venti strawberry açaí refresher with water and a butter croissant. I feel like this business is cheating me...there could be healthier, more authentic food products on the menu. I go through this drive-thru for the convenience and also for the American culture (daily thing to do), and not because of the good prices, or healthy food options. I wish there would be changes...

[@christinecamley]

He may have spent too much time meditating. He’s replaced.

[@Ammar23217]

personally, i liked his message pretty much. he looks a very nice leader and good CEO. remember, stock price is not representative of how good a business is. Coffee prices through out the world and macro+micro economic factors also matter.

[@ambiven10]

The whole company is a scam. I would rather support local coffee shops where employees receive you with a smile.

[@aaronchia3952]

Guess all his advice shared here is what not to do 😂

[@Readeroll]

May be he was fired because he wanted Starbucks to close their stores at 6.00 pm sharp.

[@johnrubalcaba]

What about the people working your Under staffed stores? Think about them

[@lowdownclub7728]

😂 not after 6 and not even before …. Now relax and meditate

[@muthu7280]

Problem of working in Europe and becoming CEO of US company 😂

[@kaylinroskens9431]

The irony lmaoooo

[@illegalplants5319]

Fired!

[@ItWasReallyNothing1408]

the new mantra is “i am done by 6 and walk the dog” - like a statement of cool and I am in charge…i run the company with my left finger….bullshit!

[@faisalabdullah2778]

It’s funny how many people think about what he said. What is funnier the people who said he’s sleeping/having fun while his employees are working. HE EARNED THAT. HE WORKS AT MORNING. Some branches work 24/7, so any CEO should be awake with 0 sleep just b/c there are people working LOL 😂.

[@GibranRJ]

And that led to disastrous performance

[@sunriselotus]

OMG this is what we should do as well.

[@johnrubalcaba]

Do you get up at 3 am to be at a store to open it? Schultz was the shit!go back to Pepsi!

[@Michael_W87]

You got fired today bro. Maybe should of worked a bit more especially leading a fortune 500 company.

[@praveensg]

He came in at the wrong time for starbucks with the wrong mindset. This philosophy works great for companies that are killing it. Satya or Tim can say this but not the Starbucks guy, until there is a turnaround.

[@johnrubalcaba]

Do you get up at 3 am to be at a store to open it?

[@maddox8136]

Recommend after he is fired , KZbin is good at dark humour

[@charliesong3434]

You are fired! 😮

[@Madzguy007]

Fk woke Starbucks!! Overpriced coffee!

[@mohammadsiddiqui9374]

Maybe this is the reason he got replaced.

[@benyeh2181]

So that's one of the reasons that you fail.

[@timmietz]

I guess this one did not age well…😂😂😂

[@pmoran9785]

Lead, meditate or get out of the gd way

[@goodlife1581]

Good lord

[@lillygirl7238]

A great leader visits his locations at all times during operational hours. Obviously, his choice not to work past 6pm is the epitome of arrogance when his baristas are still working to pay his salary. Buh bye. 👋👋👋👋

[@davidedepaiva7104]

Good luck

[@kaushkrish]

Aged like milk!

[@mundosam]

Well, it didn’t work out very well for him

[@pazzariatv]

Starbucks is very, very close to my heart. I'm a shareholder here, and visit several times a week. I truly love the products. There are a lot that are incredibly nutritional, and the innovative work that all do drives me as well. Laxman. As a former barista myself, I did have to chuckle a bit, when I saw you acting as one. Was this just for the picture, or, do you go behind the bar on a regular basis? I do hope that it's as often as you conceivably can. Great work. Keep it up!

[@Karl-Barx-420]

Lmfao

[@rushipatel7883]

Thats why he got fired

[@1anre]

Don't tell me this meditating CEO was replaced because he spent alot of company time doing interviews ?

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

Maybe thats why he got fired

[@muhammadhaseeb4692]

An Endian CEO😂 😂

[@bearssaygrrr4046]

What a joke showing him working in stores

[@rahncha]

well... this didn't age well

[@RahulSharma-l9z4n]

Laughing stock. Work life balance on your way to not having a job.

[@prakashramadhar6300]

just sick

[@loinatden]

Why is it that indian CEOs and leads are getting fired ....not within years but within months ??? Parag agarwal ....now laxman. 🤔

[@vishnureddy34]

this guy got fired

[@efaxing6649]

Look closely and you will notice something did not aligned. It’s more like staged storytelling, and that does not associate who he really is.

[@timmietz]

Wow, that’s one lazy CEO!!! I guess that’s why he’s out…

[@operationremodel]

Oops didn't work

[@obiigo8288]

It’s shows

[@mihaioprescu8061]

He seems purely unlikeable.

[@americanaboy3581]

yep just lost the job

[@JetBlackGT]

Bye. 👋

This video did not age well haha

From? Say it man

[@prakash525]

@xizhao824 come onnn... say it !!!

[@muhammadhaseeb4692]

ENDIA!!😅

[@jamessimon7754]

Now he can hqve more time off. Nobody will ever hire him period. Failure

[@pradpradprad1]

Lol . There is a janitor's position open, you might wanna try.

[@ju_p9011]

im sorry but i would never hire someone as ceo with a mouth thats trapezoid shaped, i actually really met someone like that in college that tried to get me into pyramid scheme

[@pradpradprad1]

You are the only honest person in this comment section. While most people hate him to the core, only you have honestly described why. Thanks.
