Around 2015 (still under Schultz), I got the impression Starbucks actually cares about its partners. They paid above-market wages to attract good people and provided good benefits.

AFAIK, they still do pay high wages and provide excellent benefits compared to other fast food chains.

This isn't necessarily true although it is parroted quite a bit due to SBs excellent PR and marketing.

One of the complains perusing the SB subreddits discuss how pay doesn't keep up with cost of living and that the benefits are difficult to qualify for due to the company scheduling hours under qualifying threshold for them in a 6 month period.

It is also interesting to hear that these locations are running skeleton crews while overhiring just to be able to schedule each worker fewer hours.

I can assure you that anything done by Shultz is a decision based purely on money and shareholder interest, masked as a benefit for partners.
