Go there every day and ask for a water. It's free, but you're costing them a tiny amount each time.
Oh I was gonna recommend arson. Maybe your plan is better
Free water, arson, bricks, and bullhorns. With these four powers combined, I am.. Captain Protest!

I'm sorry, if you aren't willing to relocate, you are not a good fit for the company.
I heard this in a job interview and the position was disclosed as remote.
I don't understand why can't the CEO be remote. They can buy all their important staff Apple Vision Pros if they'd like and it'll still be cheaper than this
That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.
Next time Starbucks does a greenwashing campaign just think of this asshole drinking champagne while commuting on a private jet.

So, you're going to continue to increase climate change, rather than just using a zoom call. GOD DAMN CEOS!!! Why the hell is return to office so important to you assholes??? Just do a god damned video call!
Have you considered the culture ?? Hmmm????
Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!

A zoom call has the possibility of being recorded. I'm 90% sure at this point all these execs insist on in person meetings is so they can plan and discuss illegal and unethical shit without worry.
I'm only in middle management and I know I feel the difference in the way I talk about things on zoom calls VS in person.

Self-preservation. If they stay at home for too long, they'll get sued for domestic violence.
Calling it "supercommute" is such a stupid thing. It should be called "stupidcommute" or maybe "commoronute".

There ya go
I have to dry my clothes between 12am and 3pm and this m'fer gets to fly a jet to work. Private jets along with luxury yachts are things humanity shouldn't have.

Well fuck you and your co² farting anus, Brian Niccol!
Real "Meetings that could have been Emails" energy on this executive level decision.
Honestly, doing the big Star Wars Emperor hologram head would have made this guy look less evil.
Do we have the FAA registration number for the aforementioned jet yet?
Didn't they change the law so you can't track private flights anymore? Or was Melon Husk just trying to get that done? Or was that just me imagining things again? 🤔
As far as I know, you can still track Elon's flights. It's not illegal since it was all publicly available information to begin with.
It's also not something that you can really stop people from doing.
You might be able to stop people sharing the information freely, but, the transponders that people track and the protocols and standards for the communication are well known internationally. It doesn't take more than $50 in parts to set up your own receiver and connect it to a computer.
I'd consider any law prohibiting the observation of air traffic by the public to be impossible to enforce. How can you stop someone from listening by law?
Sharing the information, however, that's a bit different.
They can't prevent tracking because aircraft are required to broadcast their information when in flight.

The FAA reauthorization act slipped in that ownership of private jets could remain anonymous. So you can still track them, because all flight plans are public and need to be for safety reasons, but they no longer have to tell you who owns what tail number. A dedicated tracker can figure out what plane belongs to who, either by showing up at the airport, or by comparing flight logs with other information about celebrity locations.

Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet
Replace all the Taylor Swift memes with this fucking guy.

Bro should one way supercommute into the sun
I think there should be tax on flights, and the tax rate should double every time you fly in a year.
Nobody needs to be this cunty.

We need to return to the office though.
Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!

Lucky him. Other corporations are designating hub cities and forcing remote employees to move or find a new job.
I wonder what happened to all the Chipotle head office employees who had to relocate to be near this guy now that he bounced
