I'm not a fan of any company that presents its benefits in a way that places women in the role of subordinate/servant/inferior and men as dominant/master/superior.
I'm not a fan of companies that don't provide accruable sick time to ALL employees, not merely those who work 40+ hours a week.
I'm not a fan of companies that say "sure you get health care benefits!" and then when you show up for training you learn that you have to pay for them, and they'll cost more than you will earn.
I'm not a fan of companies that "pride themselves" on their benefits, and advertise as such, and make sure that their public relations team spreads the word to the masses - but the majority of store-side employees get only one of those benefits because they're part-timers.
(the benefit they get is the 401k program - which requires that they contribute a percentage of their pay, they get matching up to a percentage of their contribution. It's a standard benefit for corporate retail company store-side part time employees, it's nice, but it's nothing special or unique or newsworthy)
I'm not a fan of stores whose owners smuggle artifacts that had been stolen from Iraq, who KNEW they were smuggled and didn't come from legitimate sources because their personnel warned them in advance that this was so...
I'm not a fan of stores whose owners use those smuggled artifacts to open their own "Museum of the Bible" to push their own evangelical dogma agenda on others for fun and profit.
I'm not a fan of stores whose owners include in their museum counterfeits to fool people into believing the pious nature of said owners.
The artifacts smuggled into the USA for Hobby Lobby's owners were no chump change. 17,000 (seventeen thousand) artifacts were returned to Iraq. The HL owners had to shell out $3M (three million dollars) compensation.
They claimed ignorance, that they didn't know anything about buying artifacts. Well - there are two possibilities here.
Either they went into a business without taking even a moment to learn about the business they were going to - in which case - I wouldn't want to do business with them, they're too risky...
Or they went into a business knowing damned well what they were doing - in which case - I wouldn't want to do business with them, they're frauds.
I don't care what religion they're pushing. If they were pushing MY religion, Judaism, I'd feel the same way.
