      A Ceo pulls up to work in a brand new luxury car. An employee sees it and asks “wow boss, that’s nice, is that a new car?”

    I worked for this company.
    They forced employees to work 12+ hour days, work on holidays, and didn't even get paid extra for the hours we worked.
    Zero Christmas bonus either.
    Employees who got hired on or came in through temp agencies, were basically lied to. People came in expecting X pay with X hours, and either were forced to work hours over and on holidays or be fired. Even parents who had children that needed picked up or cared for.
    MillerKnoll/Herman Miller/ Design Within Reach are the worst companies I have worked for. Extremely greedy

    The staggering $5 million annual salary of this corporate executive is indeed noteworthy, but perhaps equally concerning is the purportedly low emotional intelligence displayed by this woman. Unfortunately, this is a recurring issue within corporate America where a small group of high-level executives commandeer the lion's share of the compensation, leaving the remaining employees to divide up the scraps. In fact, recent estimates suggest that the compensation ratio between CEOs and workers in the United States has reached a staggering 398.8 to 1 in 2021. This trend effectively allows top executives to amass wealth at the expense of ordinary workers who are left to toil tirelessly for comparatively meager wages.

If they have a 10-20% drop in sales, they definitely won't be getting a bonus. It won't hurt the CEO one bit, she's already gotten her money and if they fire her because of this, she will probably get a nice golden parachute on her way out the door. Everyone loses but her.

    What's a forced apology that was written by HR really worth though? Absolutely nothing.

No more apologies that mean nothing and change nothing. People want action. The company says that the 90 second clip is taken out of context, but it's really not. That shows exactly what's talked about behind closed doors, and how she really feels.

    That CEO resembles actress Joan Hackett, with bleached hair.

    Fake apologies is part of an executive's job. Don't fall for it.

    "I'm sorry for what I said" =/= "I'm sorry what I said made you feel that way"

    She can’t be bothered until she discovers her bonus is no more

    She only apologized because the video went viral.
    Please keep us posted if the employees received bonuses.

    No apologies necessary. What should be done is she should quit. These CEOs are truly sick, sick people. Then they lie to cover up their stupidity and lack of any humanity. It’s sad that America has come to this.

    The irony is the CEO got her bonus.
