That's a change from previous years, when managers weighed in on how much of a raise their salaried direct reports got.The 2% raise doesn't apply to hourly workers, such as store baristas. Bloomberg earlier reported on the raise.Starbucks has spent nearly a year attempting a turnaround with CEO Brian Niccol at the helm. Niccol previously helped improve financial results at Mexican grill chain Chipotle as the company dealt with the aftermath of food-poisoning incidents and the pandemic.Now, Niccol is trying to return Starbucks to growth with his Back to Starbucks plan.Under his leadership, the Seattle-based chain has laid off corporate workers, invested in more shifts for baristas, and changed its bathroom-access policy.As it spends money on some of those changes, Starbucks is trying to manage its other costs, the company spokesperson told Bloomberg about this year's 2% raise, and confirmed to Business Insider.This spring, Starbucks executives said that they planned to use zero-based budgeting, which asks managers to justify costs instead of using the previous year's budget as a starting point.Do you have a story to share about Starbucks?
