Discussion What is the worst company, in your opinion, and why?

[ThatStateOfMind]

There are many companies that could fit this description, and I feel this question could vary depending on your concerns.

My pick is ExxonMobile. They're a huge contributor to climate change and carbon emissions, and they've been linked to massive oil spills as well as environmental disasters. It's worse because they KNOW the consequences of what they do and continue to do it. Documents revealed decades ago that the company did research on fossil fuels, knew they were bad, and downplayed it and actively lobbied against climate change.

The reason I think this is the worst is because the effects of climate change aren't localized: extreme weather, sea level rising, etc., affect millions worldwide.

This was a hard question for me, as I was choosing between things like Equifax and it's huge data leaks, Meta for privacy concerns, and others, so I'm interested to see the answers.

To me, it is not any certain company/firm.

It is the fundamental idea with some that they "should" have "executive compensation" while the rest hardly get by.

Be it whatever company/firm, in my almost 50 years in the business world, I have seen it way too many times of someone "stealing" in my point of view, way too much money and the rest of the employees and/or the firm gets zero.

Seen "executives" get hired, run a company into the ground, get fired and have a diamond studded parachute package while others either get laid off or get salary reductions.

It will not be in my lifetime, but I hope that someday money goes away and we can work towards bettering each other instead of time and energy in the pursuit of riches.
