    Just for perspective here,

    1000 * $15/hr = $15,000 / hr
    
    $96,000,000 / $15,000  / hour = 6,400 hours
    
    6,400 hours / 40 hours / week = 160 weeks
    
    160 weeks / 52.17857 weeks / year = 3.0663929655412174 years
    

    They could afford to keep those employees on for another 3 Years with that amount.

      Was it baristas that were laid off or office workers? Minimum wage for their corporate headquarters is a bit over $20/hour, and I’d suspect very few corporate employees are making only minimum wage.
