Starbucks has announced that starting in January next year, office employees must work in the office at least three days a week. The company has warned that failure to comply with this policy could result in termination.
According to The Guardian on Tuesday, Starbucks sent employees an internal message informing them that a responsibility process would be implemented in January to ensure adherence to the three-day office work requirement.
Since January last year, Starbucks has implemented a hybrid work system that includes three days of office work per week.
Previously, Starbucks designated Tuesdays as an office workday, but going forward, managers can determine the most suitable office days for their teams.
CEO Brian Niccol also indicated that he plans to work in the office to meet or exceed the hybrid work requirements.
Since taking the helm of Starbucks in September last year, CEO Niccol has been using the company jet to commute nearly 1,000 miles three times a week from his home in Newport Beach, California, to the company’s headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
Meanwhile, Amazon, the world’s largest e-commerce company, has announced a full return to office work starting next year.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated in a memo sent to all employees last month that they are encouraged to work in the office five days a week, adding, “To help ensure a smooth transition, we’re going to make this new expectation active on January 2, 2025.”
