People Discuss Evil Companies That Need to be Talked About More

It goes without saying, there is a lot of evil in this world. For the most part, companies and businesses are rewarded for bad behavior. The end goal of any operation is to make money, so with that in mind, you can imagine that a lot of the largest, most successful businesses engage in less-than-ethical behavior often. It doesn't take a genius to realize that. The only way we're going to improve the world, even marginally, is going to be by discussing the actions of the guilty. There are a lot of things that slip through the cracks when the world is so large and so much is constantly occurring. 

A Redditor posed this very question in an /r/askreddit thread, "What's an evil company not enough people talk about?" People began to reply with their best examples of malicious companies that exist largely under the radar. Check out some of the best and most insightful answers down below!

Even if you dgaf about animals, they are pretty awful to the people who work at their slaughterhouses, and those four are like 85% of the market, so they also greatly exploit the farmers who raise animals for them.

    Font - SiegelGT. 6h UPS. I have seen decisions made that have killed employees and then the supervisor responsible get promoted. I have seen managers get fired for removing time worked from time cards only to be hired back a month later. I have saw intentional OSHA violations on a nightly basis for years. I see supervisors relentlessly harass employees. Horrible company in every way imaginable.
