Top Ten Companies with Worst Employment Records Than Amazon
I recently read Julia Cheiffetz‘s article about employment with Amazon. Although shocked, I knew there were more worse companies than Amazon. So here is a list of top ten ten companies that have a worse record of employment and human resources than Amazon.
10. Lacoste
Lacoste is a French high-end clothing company that has been in operations since 1933. In recent year, it has also started to sell home line of sheeting and towels. The company is most recognizable by its green crocodile logo. In 2013, the company found itself in hot water. It fired one of its salespeople after he posted an image of his pay cheque on Instagram, a fundamental right all people have in the United States. Lacoste was concerned that the employee revealed too much personal information. Yea, right.
9. Amy’s Baking Company
You may remember hearing about the restaurant and its owners, Samy and Amy, after it was featured on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. The restaurant was run by two lunatics who refused to accept help from Chef Ramsay to bring their restaurant up to industry standards. After the Kitchen Nightmares episode turned them into an internet sensation, Amy and Samy went on the warpath on Facebook, attacking people who left negative comments. They also had a record for yelling at their employees and customers, firing them for the most miniscule reasons and withholding tips that their staff worked hard to receive. In the summer of 2015, it was announced that restaurant would close and the owners would start their own bakery company.
8. Target
Target has earned a good reputation among Liberals who are too ethical to shop at Walmart. The company has been dubbed as the world’s most ethical company in the world and is supposedly renowned for its friendly, fast and fun environment. You’ll flourish in the company if you are not a big fan of unions. If you are, you may find yourself without a job. In the last five years, Target has gone to drastic and often illegal lengths to halt its employees from unionizing. In every store, workers are compelled to take “training days” which consist of nothing but watching antiunion propaganda. When a store in Valley Stream, New York, almost voted to unionize, Target shut it down for seven months and suspended its workers without pay.
7. Dish Network
Dish Network (DISH) is an American direct-broadcast satellite service provider. The company provides satellite television, satellite internet, audio programming, and interactive television services to commercial and residential customers in the United States. It has had the infamous honor of being dubbed the worst, meanest company in America to work for 3 years in a row. Although company executives might boast that they service 14 million subscribers with satellite TV, their employees don’t exactly share in their celebrations. Typically, employees want to quit, are given lengthy work hours with no paid holidays and compulsory overtime.
6. Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch is a high-end American retailer that is focused on casual wear for young consumers. It has over 400 locations in the United States and thousands more internationally. Want to shop at Abercrombie and Fitch? Unfortunately, the company has a policy of no fat people and Muslims. Apparently, only cool people are permitted, according to Mike Jeffries and his 2006 interview. That policy changed in 2013 but who would ever come up with it in the first place?
5. Microsoft
Up until November, 2013, Microsoft had a controversial stack-ranking employee review system in place. The way that it worked was it forced managers to rank their employees in order of 1-5. No matter how good some of the employees were, many had to get the low ranking of a 5. It not only hurt the morale in the workplace, but promoted backstabbing and corporate undermining. There was also nuance; you were either above average, average or about to get sacked.
