Starbucks has mandated that corporate employees return to the office at least three times a week, warning that failure to comply could lead to job termination. An internal message indicated that an "accountability process" will commence in January 2025, with consequences for non-compliance potentially including separation from the company. The policy, which has been in place for two years, will no longer require employees to be in the office on Tuesdays, allowing managers to choose the best days for their teams. New CEO Brian Niccol, who took over in September 2024, has faced scrutiny for his commuting practices but asserts that he will meet the hybrid work requirements. He emphasized the importance of in-person collaboration for success during a recent employee forum. This move aligns with a broader trend among corporations, including Amazon, which are enforcing return-to-office policies as remote work became prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
