Commuting by plane. Out with the guillotines, off with his head.
i doubt that there’s a bigger outward sign of a gap between the rich and the rest of us when you treat a jet like it’s a commuter car.
the icing on this cake is that he’s never fully aware of it and will be rewarded no matter what.
It’s sad to say, but there are people that work at Amazon (IC’s, not even senior or middle management) that commute by plane.
They were hired on the basis that being 100’s of miles away wasn’t a problem, and were then told to commute to their nearest office 3x a week (now 5x). For many, spending their money on a commute is preferable to being unemployed, so some employees spend 3+ hours a day commuting, or fly in and get a taxi/train to the office.
It’s obviously not to this level, but RTO initiatives make people do stupid shit in order to stay employed…
Presumably this is more of a c/fuck_planes, because there’s no way he’s driving (19 hours nonstop) or taking a train (28–32 hours).
Y’all would be surprised at how common this has become. I have worked for or with several startups and medium-sized businesses where the company was paying for flights from the other side of the country every week and a corporate apartment or hotel for executives to stay at before flying home for the weekend.
A friend of mine just got a secretary job for a smallish company and I was surprised to learn that they fly the entire office around on a private jet sometimes just for shits and giggles.
It is kind of infuriating knowing that people are giving up meat and riding their bike in the rain to reduce their carbon foot print while the capitalist class gives zero fucks about our planet because they think their bunkers will save them.
But the rich forgot who built their bunkers. When the shit hits the fan, those workers who built the bunkers won’t have any trouble pouring concrete over the air vents. We’re all in this together and either we all work together to beat climate change or no one will survive climate change.
That’ll last 6 months and then he will quietly get an exemption to work from home
I hope the corporate jet is a Boeing.
Niccol successfully negotiated a similar deal when he became the CEO of Chipotle in 2018.
At the time, the fast-casual chain was headquartered in Denver, Colorado … Chipotle moved its headquarters from Denver to Newport Beach three months after announcing Niccol’s appointment.
Checking out Newport Beach there’s a John Wayne Airstrip right there, 5 minute drive. Will probably fly out of that.
