    I don’t understand why they think he’s worth this much money and effort when by all accounts Chipotle is a shell of its former glory

        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.

            Yeah it’s like a big cult, the real market doesn’t matter to anyone, they just rotate CEOs when that hits. It’s always and forever about next quarter growth, nothing else matters.

      Chipotle failed to unionize and I bet short term profits are up.

      This statement could also apply to the buffoons who frequent Starbucks to pay exorbitant prices for sugar with a dash of bitter coffee

    If he wants to commute, fine so long as he has to take a regular commercial jet like the rest of us.

    Get there two hours early, check in, go through airport security, wait at the gate, then board. Then do it again at the end of the day.

    We’ll see how long he could put up with that before thinking he should really not try to commute 1,000 miles away.

    If it’s the company jet do they get to write of its usage?

    If so, this isn’t a commute. You drive your own car at your own expense for a commute. I’m sure people wouldn’t mind as much if they had a company car and a driver for their commute.

    No, he faced backlash over wasting fuel, which is running out, and creating more carbon emissions, which are killing all of us, including this fucking dumb ass.

      Well, there’s no income tax in Washington, but I think technically you’re supposed to pay based on where you physically work. So, if he’s only working 3/5 days in Washington, that’s only 60% of his salary that falls under Washington’s rules.

    He should feel shame, but you know he doesn’t. Only a sociopath would have bought-in to such a plan.
