Why would they punch themselves in the dick like this?

Interesting move by the CEO considering a majority of their stores are in places where this would not go down well. Really wonder how some of these guys are put in charge of these companies.

Pretty much every chain coffee location has been telling people through their fuck awful policies to simply go to work with 2 tumblers of coffee from home.

Damn that’s shitty. Up front anti-gay policy issues aside, if you’re going to strip the stores of the employee decorations you’re just going to make it look like every bland corporate coffee shop. Philz at least has a veil of being somewhat different, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they start cutting corners on the coffee next.
Classic MBA slop decision making. They pretend like they need to create a monoculture because they’re a “real business” while actively harming the brand and reducing quality, driving away customers and crashing the whole operation.
It was nice while it lasted, I guess.

That will win over the bigots.

Execs making decisions to milk the Cash acow not realizing they’re creating the conditions to make it a Dog instead. CEO needs to go back for another BCG Matrix lesson.
