Vin baker lost 100 mill n makes frappes now breh

So why even mention that Schulz set him up with a job that he could've EASILY gotten without Schulz's involvement? It's not like it's rocket science to make a caramel macchiato or double shot of espresso...y'all really believe that he needed to serve cats 1/2 slices of pound cake and serve drinks to learn about how to manage a store? Schulz couldn't have put him in an assistant manager position and had him shadow for a few years? Vin ain't dumb and it wouldn't be a handout to put Vin in a position to take advantage of his skills in a way that doesn't embarass him in the public eye. Got a 6'10 breh seving rice crispy squares and hot chocolate but it's ok because he's being "fast tracked". GTFOH

He could have gotten the job but he wouldnt have been on the path to being made a manager that quickly without help. That really needed to be explained to you?

And of course he should be working in the store prior to managing one. Again, you need an explanation on why this makes sense?

What skills does he offer corporate? LOL

Bruh, thats never how it works for people with real connections. Went to school with so many white kids who went straight into a management position after high school and college. Their connections didnt have them working the line with everyone else.

I seriously doubt you know anyone that was instantly made a manager of a Starbucks, with having zero work experience within their company

That is simply NOT how they operate

You right, they were made managers of lumber yards, car dealerships, logistics companies, flooring manufacturers, etc...... shyt way more complicated than a coffee shop.

They may not. But if the CEO's nephew is hired, he KNOWS 100% that if he does even a decent job as a barista he's moving up to the next position guaranteed(and quicker than others). The promise of success is powerful.

Not sure what point you're trying to make

I dont disagree with what you said? Vin is going to move up the ranks quicker too because of his connection as well

If someone with no experience in the industry can walk into a company and be given the title of manager at any of those places i listed and learn on the job then they could have found something for Vin Baker to do other than making drinks while he was being groomed for something else.

I just googled that, always wondered.

NBA players have one of the most generous pension plans in all of professional sports. They are vested into their pension plans after playing at least three seasons in the league. The minimum benefit for a player that retires at the age of 62 is $56,988 per year - not a bad retirement for a three-year career.J

Not bad

Hes being groomed to manage a store!! LOL

Hes doing the work of the people he is about to manage and learning the tasks he will have to oversee/manage

How doesnt that make sense to you??

Im telling you how THIS company operates, and you're pulling random ass examples like lumber yards out

No clue what point you're trying to make right now

Man, I just don't see how inidivuals blow thru 100 mil...there's large corporations that don't lose that kinda dough.

That said, I feel bad for him in the sense that he seemed like a good dude. I remember him being on Inside Stuff back in the day, both of his parents were pastors and he was playing the piano on that episode. Seemed like the Bucks had a good upside with him and Big Dog.

Nobody's perfect tho.

Problem is that when you have large sums of money at a young age you are more prone to blow through it. Most professionals will tell you they went nuts blowing through money when they first got a job. But because as a professional you make more as you get experience and your career can last 40 plus years you are able to adjust your spending habits and save.

But most Americans even when they have good careers and money ain't got a lot to piss in and would be on the street in a matter of weeks if they lost their jobs. Even if they make over 100k.

Also with athletes they are taxed at ridiculous rates. Are taught from a young age to get better as a player and don't worry about the money. If they focus more on making money then their sports career they are criticized by the fans, media and teams. Plus they have family members with their hands out, agents, accountants, realtors and attorneys who try to hustle them out their money.

Oh and there are many large corporations that lose that type of money. But those corporations can get bail outs from the government, can merge with other companies, can use huge tax write offs, can be sold to stop the bleeding of money and etc.

A person who loses money like that does not have access to those processes to bounce back.

Not bad

Yeah they have a good pension deal. But have to be a certain age to begin getting the pension. I am sure Vin will be getting a fat pension check but isn't old enough to collect it.

I would fukking lose it if I walked into Starbucks and Vin Baker was making my hot chocolate.

Who orders hot chocolate from Starbucks except kids?

 

[unit321]

how so you blow that much money?

He said bad business decisions. And alcohol.

 

[Brozay]

Who orders hot chocolate from Starbucks except kids?

Probably people who prefer hot chocolate over coffee
