These companies have no soul.

Starbucks could give every one of its 383,000 workers a $5,000 bonus & still keep $2.6 billion in profits from last year. Instead they're raising prices while spending $20 billion on stock buybacks & dividends when profits are up 31%. Don't blame inflation. Blame corporate greed.

If you don’t earn enough in your present job, find another job. The company’s finances are not really your concern.

Companies are a reflection of those who are running them... quite simple. CEOs, and "authorities" (health, religious, politicians) are the real disease of this planet.

The people at the heads of these companies have no souls. Corporations are not people.

I don’t shop at Starbucks. I prefer the local coffee shops. I support local small business. I even divested in major banking companies.

The best way to restore a corporation's soul would be to make it a worker owned co-op. Board members typically have no soul, workers usually have extra soul.

A little harsh, considering they offer EEs working full-time or part-time comprehensive benefits, including health coverage (medical, dental and vision) . Their stock is at a low. Good time for buy back.

Another thing they could do is cut the prices of their grossly overpriced coffee and other merchandise.

profit motive - free enterprise = no soul

I think there’s a middle ground here. They still have a duty to their shareholders, but how about they take the stocks they bought back and give those to the employees. That way the employees directly benefit from higher stock prices and dividends the way an investor does.
