Commuting by plane. Out with the guillotines, off with his head.
Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
i doubt that there's a bigger outward sign of a gap between the rich and the rest of us when you treat a jet like it's a commuter car.
the icing on this cake is that he's never fully aware of it and will be rewarded no matter what.
It's sad to say, but there are people that work at Amazon (IC's, not even senior or middle management) that commute by plane.
They were hired on the basis that being 100's of miles away wasn't a problem, and were then told to commute to their nearest office 3x a week (now 5x). For many, spending their money on a commute is preferable to being unemployed, so some employees spend 3+ hours a day commuting, or fly in and get a taxi/train to the office.
It's obviously not to this level, but RTO initiatives make people do stupid shit in order to stay employed...
Imagine having a job so fucking braindead easy you can live 1000 miles away and only show up three days out of the week.
CEO must be the fucking easier job over there, given that they are a lot of people that are CEO's of multiple companies at the same time.
The only two requirements are being good at lying and believing your own bullshit.
Presumably this is more of a c/fuck_planes, because there’s no way he’s driving (19 hours nonstop) or taking a train (28–32 hours).
It says he's taking the corporate jet and he has to be in Seattle at least 3 days a week
This fucking asshole
That'll last 6 months and then he will quietly get an exemption to work from home
Tell me why i don't like Starbucks...
First... Starbucks killed my beloved "Kaffehaus"-culture in vienna.
Now this.
I bought only one fucking coffee there in my whole live. It's years ago. And it will be the only one in my live.
Had a VP who was forced to do this (but with commercial flights) 15ish years ago. It was hell and she quit after 4 months. Management was surprised due to their inability to understand people or reality.
Sounds like she made the mistake of trying to do her job herself rather than delegating all the work to her underlings like most execs do.
Nailed it. She was notorious for that.
someone do the math on his one-trip emissions and compare it to the average commute
He'll superpollute
Might as well use Zoom instead
Niccol successfully negotiated a similar deal when he became the CEO of Chipotle in 2018.
At the time, the fast-casual chain was headquartered in Denver, Colorado ... Chipotle moved its headquarters from Denver to Newport Beach three months after announcing Niccol’s appointment.
Checking out Newport Beach there's a John Wayne Airstrip right there, 5 minute drive. Will probably fly out of that.
Because he's a special boy
