pretty much. The public attacked the company's wallet, and now that it's affecting her personally, she just wants it to stop because now it's her problem
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.
I worked 12 hours shifts before and I would go home and shower and be too tire to make myself something to eat cant imagine how these employees felt, I would have apologized as ceo and gave everyone giftcards to dunkin, Im happy to hear women be leaders but we cant ignore whats just as important, not just money!
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. I was bullied through high school, so I guess you can say that I'll be shopping elsewhere. She's not sorry in the slightest, she's just apologizing because it's now affecting her personally.
Except many large companies aren't actively promoting a false narrative of empowerment or an office culture of being like family, etc. etc. I think that's where the real scandal is. 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).
I never heard of this company until my fiance's friend told me about it. I was thinking about buying my fiance something from there, that's out of the question now.
I was in the luggage business for over 25 yrs. This brand "Away" was very popular in that many customers asked if we carried it. Away is only sold by Away. It is supposed to be a very good suitcase. I even considered going to work for them, glad I didn't now.
That sounds like teleperformance in México, look at all the reviews. When they want you to put in extra hours with out more pay they Will tell you that you're giving the extra Mile and if you don't they Will shame you... Its awfull
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
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?)
i did get a lovely blue carry on piece of luggage. however never got the luggage tag, small pouch or laundry bag. very disappointing, especially after paying such a lot for luggage.
The ceo is sorry about loosing money. Not about how they treated past employees. If they did they would submit bonuses to past employees by the hundreds to make up for the pain
Only in America right?! No where else... And where do you live that doesn't do this kind of action! Is there laws and rights in this place you call home.
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.
Glad I didn't order their stuff now (was going to get my sister something for Christmas, but decided to get her it for birthday in march instead... Ill shop elsewhere until there's a positive environment that has lasted a bit - not just a flash in the pan...
Wow this is interesting to see the other comments saying they never heard or AWAY. Away seems very much like a millennial brand, obviously all their ads seem geared to social media. I’ve seen it heavily advertised even on RUclips many influencers around 1-2 years ago were using it.
company only exists because of social media harnessing them...Samsonite, american tourister or any old school established luggage makers, produce products of similar results...
Welp, time to cover up my branding. No more buying from this brand. Won’t recommend this brand anymore either. Personally, I love the bags. Not gunna lie. And the customer service was golden. But people deserve fair pay and it’s a given that they should feel safe at work. Really shot themselves in the foot with this.
She's embarrassed because she got caught. Don't be fooled
Arno
You’re right.
That's a feminazi for ya.
Right!!!
Exactly. You read my mind!!
pretty much. The public attacked the company's wallet, and now that it's affecting her personally, she just wants it to stop because now it's her problem
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.
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've never heard of this company before this video
Shadamyfan 1923 SAME!
Me neither 🤷🏽♀️
Same
Seen a lot of RUclipsrs and a handful of podcast sponsored by the brand
I dont really think a lot of people pay attention to what luggage they buy
"we have a lot of screenshots" the best six words any journalist can hear.
The CEO is just money hungry. she wants your hard eraned money.
Victoria Brooke the suitcase gets scuffed easily and they even give you a cloth/sponge so you can clean it yourself
Yup, that's like all businesses lol
It's time for AWAY to go away lol
yo lo 😂😂😂👍🏾
Seriously, bye Felicia
It’s time for away to sashay away
I mean, I got a calpak a couple years ago. It's just as stylish and gets the job done.
If she wasn't exposed she would not have apologized for anything
Saying sorry doesn't change the fact that you were inappropriate and acted like you "owned" people...
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 and Lisa Guerrero would double-team the company execs.*
Like three sums?
Scandal: Let’s go boys! Made some money
Customer: I’m about to ruin this mans career
Wow she really called her employees “brain dead” for a simple mistake, damn
So many companies don’t treat there employees with respect, sadly this is the reality 💁🏼♀️
No way!!! Somebody should do something!!!
I’m going on vacation in a few weeks. Was seriously considering buying their luggage. I’m glad I didn’t
same. actually was gonna invest in their luggage now, and then I saw this when looking for reviews. Would rather take my money elsewhere.

I’ve never heard of this company in my life until this video
I worked at four seasons and there was a lot of sexual harassment, bullying, racism.
This happens at alot of companies
Company: *EXISTS*
Journalists:I’m bout end this companies whole career
Don't click the link it's full of nude Japanese women
Wow such a fresh meme.
Lol.
I might be too poor to know this brand exist. My crash baggage still looks way better and iconic than this
Literally every large company

@@SL-lz9jr wow!!!! Saying something to sale something!!!! Amazing
The sound editing makes this video very difficult to watch. It sounds like a Barbie video game from 1998
I never heard of this company until my fiance's friend told me about it. I was thinking about buying my fiance something from there, that's out of the question now.
Good for her exposing this!
If she was a man would this even be a story? This IS CORPORATE America. Every company is like this. And it’s something that needs to be addressed.

so sad to hear especially since I just recently purchased a suitcase from the company...
You apologized because you got caught boo, not because you mean it.
Wow. I just ordered luggage from this company. I am returning it now after seeing this video.
Who the hell is Away? You say much beloved by the public - never heard of it and I've bought my fair share of suitcases.
That sounds like teleperformance in México, look at all the reviews. When they want you to put in extra hours with out more pay they Will tell you that you're giving the extra Mile and if you don't they Will shame you... Its awfull
Wow and CEO of Away just realised then customers started returning recently ordered products. How “kind” person she is...
Send them AWAY
I've been debating for like two years on whether or not to invest in this company and buy a luggage set. Now I know my decision.
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
I was just about to buy one of their bags. Thank goodness I found this video
Away Company: Let’s celebrate!
Customers: Hold my beer🍺
2:38 Toxic work environment has nothing to do with capitalism? Who tf is this dude
Time for the CEO to go AWAY!
My sisters former work place has a Friday firing. They make the employee work all day then fire them at the end of the work day 😬

But isn't that better than you getting there and they fire you first thing in the morning?
She’s sorry she got caught and called out
She won’t of had to expose them if the employee spoke up as soon as they realized something was wrong
That's a funny theory but in practice those bolder people probably just got fired. 🤷
i did get a lovely blue carry on piece of luggage. however never got the luggage tag, small pouch or laundry bag. very disappointing, especially after paying such a lot for luggage.
I’ve never worked at a place where the Director or CEO wasn’t toxic. It’s the norm and it’s sad.
They couldn’t wait to get away!😂
Why is she taking like that
*24 hours later*
Woman who wrote about away is dead
That is not appropriate, you shouldn't say that!
evidence smith I’m sorry : (
@@boyfritodip its fine, its just not a good thing to say
evidence smith ok
@@evidence7338 ever heard of dark humor? Because I love it!
I never chat too much in slack for this reason
Omg I had never heard of AWAY until yesterday when I watched a vlog by FlywithStella and she was talking about how much she loves their luggage
crazylicious85 me too
I thought it sounded familiar. I think I also saw it a few days ago. I thought it looked quite good, now I am not sure anymore.
How much r they paying her lmao
galaxydollies83 Studios idk, but I know she at least got luggage for free and they made her a code for $ off luggage for her subscribers to use
The ceo is sorry about loosing money. Not about how they treated past employees. If they did they would submit bonuses to past employees by the hundreds to make up for the pain
Apologize only when caught smh
Glad I watched this before spending my money
But is the luggage bad?! Just wanting to ask if its about the luggage or the people.
Fix the audio
So this company is like any other company in America🤣 never heard of them, what makes them better than any other luggage that you buy at a store?
Cool Beans research can do wonders
Only in America right?! No where else... And where do you live that doesn't do this kind of action! Is there laws and rights in this place you call home.
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.
I thought I saw a similar suitcase with rollers and handlebar as well as charger ports for accessories but I don’t think it’s this company.
The vocal fry... 😱
ermii 🙉
I agree and hate it. Why do they think it makes them sound intellectual when used? 🤔
I bought luggage w/them but actually want to return it now
I wonder if now a a good time to get a massive deal on their luggage??

Then don't watch...?
I wanted to buy one of these suitcases. Glad this vid was in my recommended. Putting my money into another company now. Thanks!
Soo uh they aren’t going to talk about The Shooting
The nj one?
-CinnaMon’s Gacha World! Yes
@@cheemker please dont take my family ( I dont own the app )
Good thing I'm returning my Away luggage. Get Solgaard instead.
Outsource, outsource, outsource
sounds like fast food
Glad I didn't order their stuff now (was going to get my sister something for Christmas, but decided to get her it for birthday in march instead... Ill shop elsewhere until there's a positive environment that has lasted a bit - not just a flash in the pan...
What about the sweat shop
She didn't know how to run the business.
Inside edition
well, i just emptied my cart on away. i was about to buy the large suitcase. guess i am going with chester luggage. thank you for the insight
Will never 👎 buy their product!!
I’ve wanted one for so long but i AlWAYs thought it was too overpriced just for a carry on
This looks like a college humor sketch
It sounds like this company needs union representation. I am wishing the employees the best!
Hi I'm SUCH a big fan of the channel
Fly with Stella has been given this luggage to promote. Flight attendant for AA
Shes only sorry because she got exposed
4 minutes of vocal fry -_-
Hiphop618 Omg yes 😒
And?
So........ there’s a luggage company called as ‘Away’!?
Fashion is so stupid.
i ordered an AWAY suitcase a month ago. It came in last week and i’ve used it all week. I love it 😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
Michaela Hutto I wonder if the price is lower now. I’ve wanted one for a while but couldn’t justify the purchase.
@@mommymarine1756 The prices haven't changed. Quality still doesn't justify the price.
But I really want to buy “AWAY”, when I get older
Chocolate Chip buy a samsonite. It will last longer and it’s just better.
Wow this is interesting to see the other comments saying they never heard or AWAY. Away seems very much like a millennial brand, obviously all their ads seem geared to social media. I’ve seen it heavily advertised even on RUclips many influencers around 1-2 years ago were using it.

they should talk about glossier....
Well I was going to buy one but never mind...
company only exists because of social media harnessing them...Samsonite, american tourister or any old school established luggage makers, produce products of similar results...
Either way I love my Away suitcase lmaoo
Hmmm sounds like working for a company in Asia.
You could say the CEO is stepping ‘away’ from the business!
I'm a person of color and bought a 300 + $ suitcase from them, yuck !
.... Rimowa it is.
Away from reality
"Samsonite?... I was WAY off"
Welp, time to cover up my branding. No more buying from this brand. Won’t recommend this brand anymore either.

I can relate
the answer to a toxic workplace is dance to toxic by britney spears. when your toxic co-worker walked in you be like baby can't you see i'm calling.
This is normal....... smh.
