a friend of mine who recently interviewed at airbnb said that the employees have a personal barista that they can sign up to take lessons from, so at least you know that money is getting put to good use
If that next round doesn't come in those barista skills might come in handy.
Having a large portion of your staff barista-trained also allows for some pretty big pivots. These guys have their eyes on the longterm.
ok, now I lol'd twice haha!
Starbucks won't even know what hit them!
As long as these types of perks continue to get shared in conversation and affect where an employee chooses to work, they will continue to be offered and will grow even more extreme in terms of catering to the needs of employees.
I don't want a barista to teach me to make coffee -- I want a barista to make me coffee.
yikes, the shameless stupidity of this comment is very worrying to me
