    She’s not sorry, she’s simply trying to clear her name, and it’s a perfect example of deflection. Also, another good example of egocentric behavior.

    • @SL-lz9jr
      @SL-lz9jr 5 лет назад +8

      Exactly. If she were truly sorry and wanted to remedy her behavior, she'd seek therapy and anger management help. You know, do some genuine self-reflection and internal work on the self. But, that ain't gonna happen. I've had a similar experience working at another similar company. What's with the egomaniac CEO's? I still get PTSD whenever I see a job posting resembling that particular role I had. UGH. Go AWAY. LOL

    So the CEO couldn’t take what she dished out and made herself the COB to get away from the heat.
    She gave herself a promotion and left someone else to clean up her mess all while still being in charge.
    She didn’t change anything, it just moved to another office with just as much if not more power to keep doing what she was doing.

    Sadly, this is happening at more companies than we think. CEOs who work us to death and don’t value our time and hard work. It should go without saying.. appreciate the people who work for you and you’ll see them work harder and be happier.. don’t and you get people who won’t care and soon you’ll just be known as the greedy company.

    How unfortunate. I was looking for a review video, and was considering buying one of their bags; that's when I stumbled across this video.

Otherwise, as you said, this is nothing new. Plenty of crappy work environments to be found in America (though I daresay it's worse in Asia and elsewhere).

    Compared to other companies like Samsonite, it is still a small company, even so, I think there's barely any compliant about their products, that's why it's 'beloved'.
    I knew about this product but hadn't even heard whispers about this scandal, though it would make sense now why it's been a while since I last saw an ad about them

    • @SL-lz9jr
      @SL-lz9jr 5 лет назад +1

      Same thing happened to me at my last job, it was a Thursday and right after I returned from being out sick, but still just as crappy to make someone work all day (a nonprofit whose founder is still its CEO and operates like a tech startup). And apparently someone else got fired via email on their way to work (a few months after I lost my job). I do recall the Friday firing at another job I had (food delivery startup). What's with these dumb ass workplaces treating people like this? Not gonna lie. It really messed me up for several months and I'm only now getting myself back together. BTW, I wasn't even fired for doing anything wrong. I was fired (or "let go") because they're restructuring things due to the accelerated growth and my position no longer exists (like, great, that you're able to fundraise gobs of money, but where's the humanity in how you treat your own workers?)

      It isn't better. It's worse. They overprice their luggage and tell you you're getting a good deal because you're buying it directly from them and not a reseller.
      You can get better quality for the same price from other brands.
      Don't believe their marketing hype which they spend most of their money on.

    Bullying and over-working employees might be extended but it should definitely NOT be normalized. Whether is coming from men or women management, bullying and abuse is not right. Some people play with the fear of employees getting fired and with bad references, which can make looking for a new job near to impossible. Having a positive working enviroment and inclusive culture is possible, whilst still making profit.
