Went to Starbucks the other night and was chatting with their manager on Mall Rd. All stores now close at 10:30 pm Sun-thurs an instead of midnight. Employee 401K match for part-time employees(major perk for their employees. Who else offers that to a part-time employee) has been cut and instead of getting 15-20 hours a week they are now getting around 8 hours. Starbucks currently has a 0% labor cost, but Corporate wants that number to be at -3%. This is exactly what Comair Management is looking at. Look at the chief pilots office alone. Closing that Saturday and Sunday will save them a ton of money in Labor over the course of a year. I don't agree with it, but they don't really care what we think. That's just one office. Spread that across the entire company.
