Starbucks’ new CEO faces backlash over 1,000-mile commute to Seattle office

It won't last. It just takes awhile for consumers to figure out that your product is now shit.

Most people aren't visiting every day to notice the price increases or the quality decreases. And the first or second time it's often written off as just an outlier.

Of course there's variance per customer, but it takes a couple years before you really earn the shitty reputation of something like Dominos circa 2014. In the meantime, line looks like this before it drops. And by that time you're CEO of a different company.

Absolutely. Jack Welch's rotting corpse requires further tributes. The product isn't what matters, just the line going up.

Fascinating

I keep hearing it's much worse than it used to be, profits regardless

That's not how it works. What matters is the state of your residency and the state that your paychecks come from. If you get paid in a state you don't reside in, you have to file in both, unless there's a reciprosity agreement. Many states will allow deductions for income tax paid in another state. So for example if the state your employer is in has a 4% rate, and the state you reside in has a 6% rate, then you'd end up paying 4% to state A and 2% to state B. It is possible to get double taxed depending on which states are involved.

So the CEO will at the very least have to file in California.
