Starbucks's CEO saw his unionizing baristas as a threat to his life's work.

11. My daughter worked there during the heart of COVID

Every employee was given the option of staying home with full pay for around six months. After employees were called back to work, and they needed to downsize the staff, the staff were given several options, each of which has something attractive about it. Staff weren't guaranteed their choice, but most were able to get their first option. I don't recall all of the options specifically, but I know the outright severance came with fully paid healthcare for a period of time. That downsizing came with a comprehensive (and accurate) written description of the options and two meetings with supervisors.

In the exact same time frame, my job (which requires an advanced degree) was given a 4% pay cut, about which I was informed via a newspaper article.

Even before COVID, staff are only required to work 25 hours a week to have access to very cheap, comprehensive health insurance, and other attractive benefits.

Those are corporate policies, not local variations. So it is not accurate to say they have no care for their workers. (That is not to say that the company reacted properly to unionizing attempts, but they provide considerably better benefits for their baristas than virtually any other similarly skilled job I'm aware of.)
