Starbucks CEO Demands Employees Come Into the Office at Least Three Days a Week After Employees Refuse to Meet One Day per Week Commitment

Workers at Starbucks’ corporate office in Seattle, Washington, will be required to work in-office at least three days per week, if within commuting distance, a memo from CEO Howard Schultz describes.

Starbucks is one of several large corporations putting their foot down about employees working from home over COVID-19 safety protocols, joining Disney, which announced in early January 2023 that employees need to go to work four days per week.

Apple recently instituted a three in-office days per-week policy, and Snapchat’s parent company is requiring 80% of employee work to be done in-office, according to CNN.

Any employee who lives “within commuting distance” of the Starbucks Support Center will have to start heading to the corporate office three times per week, including Tuesday and Wednesday, starting Jan. 30, 2023.

The memo stressed that the company’s culture of togetherness and in-person connection was damaged greatly by lockdowns, both at its headquarters and its stores.
