Starbucks has announced a significant policy shift requiring corporate employees to return to the office four days a week. This move, led by CEO Brian Niccol as part of a turnaround effort, aims to foster a more collaborative office culture. Employees who prefer to continue working remotely face the option of receiving a buyout to leave the company. With the new mandate, Starbucks is tightening its remote work policies, emphasizing a transition from a previous three-day minimum. The company has indicated that some employees may also need to relocate to the headquarters, further highlighting the seriousness of this restructuring initiative.
