There it is. I kept finding investor reports claiming the same 25 bil number as the net profit, but that’s just goofy if their actual bottom-line was under 5.
And that $11,000 figure is now about 6x too big. Meaning we’re talking about a less than a dollar raise from a poverty wage to another poverty wage.
From their press release website, $36 biliion consolidated net revenue reported at a 16% profit margin for fiscal year 2023 leaves $5.76 billion after every expense has been deducted.
An $11,000 wage increase is ~$5/hr for a full time employee.
Starting pay at Startbucks is around $15/hr. They’re famously stingy with full-time though, so in reality it is quite a bit more than a 25% increase.
Honestly, I was expecting to find some glaring error in the logic on this but I don’t really see it.
The glaring error is this screenshot is listing an income figure that is comparable to the 2022 total revenues in the 2022 fiscal report.

It looks like Starbucks 2023 EBITDA was $7.3 Billion and the net income was $4.1 Billion.
The post makes a good point, but uses garbage data. Why do they do this?
Alright this is sounding too much like a meeting, I better get back to my actual job

With equal distribution, that actually makes a $12,500 raise for 400,000 employees
Incredibly frustrating.
Should we form an eat the rich union, obviously.
Is sharing garbage data on social media the way to get there, no! Real data (like on wealth concentration) is offensive enough!
I did the math, too, and came to the same conclusion.
I’ll just be over here eating cake, like a good sans-culottes
