employees should be the champions of the
[2]
companies they work for but profit is
[3]
the governing mantra of big business
[5]
which leads to shady practices making
[7]
lots of employees fed up with the way
[9]
their employer is operating and with
[11]
social media it's easier than ever for
[13]
them to expose the practices most of us
[15]
aren't aware of here are 10 of the most
[17]
significant examples of well-known loved
[19]
and well trusted brands getting exposed
[21]
for not so lovable tactics number 10
[28]
KFC various employees over the years
[31]
have shared some factual evidence that
[33]
KFC engages in practices that won't make
[35]
your mouth water in this video that's
[37]
been watched over 13 million times
[40]
an employee demonstrates how this
[41]
so-called fresh fast-food has been
[44]
actually sitting around for quite a
[46]
while another video reports on a man who
[48]
found maggots in his order and it's not
[50]
just one location for the past year
[52]
employees from all over have been taking
[54]
to the Internet and sharing stories
[56]
stories about rats and cockroaches have
[59]
even surfaced one reddit forum started
[61]
and moderated by ex-employee Steve and
[63]
Dave is so filled with gripes about
[65]
uncleanliness and bad food safety that
[67]
KFC responded with their usual corporate
[69]
speak claiming that each KFC store is
[72]
audited five times a year both
[74]
internally and externally which really
[76]
clears things up number nine Toyota
[79]
Toyota thought they'd avoided a public
[82]
relations disaster when they skirted
[84]
accusations that problems existed with
[86]
their brakes and acceleration pants then
[88]
a law firm working for Toyota hired a
[90]
translator named Betsy benjaminson to
[93]
work on internal documents whoops
[95]
what Betsy saw Betsy could not hide she
[97]
revealed Toyota's extensive cover-ups
[99]
following a number of high profile
[101]
fatalities involving their vehicles the
[103]
accidents took place from 2007 to 2010
[106]
and Toyota continually blamed floor mats
[108]
and driver errors for the malfunctions
[110]
even the National Highway Traffic Safety
[112]
Administration and NASA backed up Toyota
[114]
but when Betsy got to work on internal
[116]
memos reports repair records and emails
[118]
she noticed a pattern of confusion and
[120]
discrepancies she decided it was time to
[123]
become as she puts it a nap biting the
[125]
elephant's toe she could do something
[127]
meaningful to prevent future tragedies
[128]
so she did after consulting a rabbi
[131]
she anonymously leaked the documents and
[134]
eventually would reveal her name it was
[136]
revealed the faults were actually within
[138]
the cars internal electronics leading to
[140]
the cars accelerating them controllably
[142]
and Toyota's engineers were confused
[143]
about why this was happening in emails
[145]
to one another they even blamed a ghost
[147]
in the machine finally in the December
[149]
of 2013 Toyota moved ahead with the
[152]
settlement process and the many wrongful
[153]
death lawsuits against them although
[155]
it's hard for her to find work now
[157]
Betsey still believes that she did the
[159]
right thing number 8
[161]
Tesla known for its smart cars and
[163]
innovative environmentally comparable
[165]
products and of course Elon Musk Tesla
[168]
is considered a darling of public
[169]
relations until Carl Henson and Martin
[172]
Tripp came along Martin was the first to
[174]
cry foul claiming that Tesla was using
[176]
faulty batteries and overstating its
[178]
production numbers in return his
[180]
electronic communications were tapped
[182]
even after he left the company then
[184]
along comes Carl Henson who claims he
[186]
has the evidence to confirm the
[188]
existence of drug trafficking with
[189]
Mexican cartels inside Tesla a suspicion
[192]
first raised by the story County
[193]
Sheriff's Department and the DEA which
[195]
Tesla declined to investigate that isn't
[198]
all Henson says Tesla refused to report
[200]
over 37 million in stolen raw materials
[203]
and when he himself reported it to them
[205]
they ordered him to cease his own
[207]
internal investigation he also claims
[209]
that another employee was fired after
[211]
reporting some of the thefts to
[212]
authorities the Sheriff Department
[214]
confirms the company reported a couple
[216]
thefts to them but Tesla refused to
[218]
specify what was stolen and said they
[220]
would bring in their own outside vendors
[221]
to investigate it should also be noted
[223]
that Martin trip only filed his claims
[225]
after Tesla fired him and sued him for
[227]
hacking trade secrets and passing
[229]
internal documents of course there's
[231]
always two sides to the argument
[232]
according to Tesla some of Henson's
[235]
claims are outright false and others not
[237]
corroborated whatever the case a certain
[239]
inventor of electrical current first
[241]
named Nikola must be rolling over in his
[243]
grave right now
[244]
number seven Dollar General what would
[246]
you do if you were the manager of a busy
[248]
retail chain understaffed and
[250]
underworked
[250]
making up for staff shortages and then
[252]
one night you got in an accident because
[254]
of all that stress ask for workers comp
[256]
right that's exactly what Don he did and
[259]
Dollar General responded by firing her
[261]
thus began a two-year battle over
[264]
employee working conditions at this
[265]
national chain with over 15,000 stores
[268]
in 45 of the 48 continental states in
[271]
the United States Dollar General claimed
[273]
the firing was over pre-existing
[275]
problems with her productivity but Don
[276]
is just one of the many managers who say
[278]
they don't have enough employees to
[280]
cover the man-hours needed to keep the
[281]
store in shape which probably is what
[283]
leads to the mess seen here in this
[285]
Dollar General themed episode of retail
[287]
archeology so according to lawsuits what
[290]
happens is the manager covers the work
[292]
that is not completed by the employees
[293]
forcing the managers to work up to 70
[296]
hours a week
[297]
managers designated by dollar generals
[299]
as salaried employees are not entitled
[301]
to overtime pay helping Dollar General
[303]
turn profits on very slim margins they
[306]
are however entitled to health benefits
[308]
which is probably why it made more sense
[310]
for Dollar General to fire miss Huey
[312]
after her injury rather than keep her on
[313]
the payroll a number of lawsuits have
[315]
been filed across the discount store
[317]
industry under the Fair Labor Standards
[318]
Act which may force Dollar General to
[321]
finally clean up their act number 6 hsbc
[325]
this bank seems to be the worst of the
[327]
worst when it comes to shady business
[329]
practices from tax evasion to money
[331]
laundering it seems they've been
[332]
involved in it all one whistleblower
[335]
Herve fal'cie ani is currently living in
[337]
Spain while facing five years in prison
[339]
in Switzerland for leaking details about
[341]
HSBC customers whom he believed were
[343]
evading taxes false eonnie is a French
[345]
citizen who worked for HSBC and in 2008
[348]
leaked documents that became known as
[350]
the Swiss leak scandal he basically
[352]
exposed more than 120 thousand clients
[355]
from HSBC's private banking arm that had
[358]
222 billion dollars from tax authorities
[361]
in 2017
[362]
HSBC agreed to pay three hundred and
[364]
fifty two million dollars to stop the
[366]
case from going to trial but they never
[368]
admitted guilt over the case seems they
[370]
got off lightly if you ask me
[371]
Spain has so far refused to extradite
[374]
fal'cie Ani on the grounds there are no
[376]
laws in Spain that cover aggravated
[378]
financial espionage the Crimea is
[380]
charged with in Switzerland this adds to
[382]
HSBC's troubles after having been caught
[384]
facilitating transactions between
[386]
terrorist groups and laundering Mexican
[388]
drug money into the u.s. in 2012 the
[390]
perpetrators would deposit cash at an
[392]
HSBC branch in Mexico then the money was
[395]
transported over the border
[396]
by the bank thus cleaning the cash the
[398]
bank overlooked safeguards due to lack
[400]
security and the OCC a US Financial
[403]
Regulator failed to properly oversee
[405]
them it might seem like a victimless
[407]
crime but it's quite the opposite they
[409]
facilitated the actions and violence of
[411]
brutal cartels which struggle to operate
[413]
when banks abide by the law by refusing
[415]
to work with them number five Amazon
[418]
most of us love Amazon since it offers
[421]
such great value prime customers for one
[423]
get free shipping and deep discounts but
[426]
who actually pays the price the evidence
[428]
suggests its Amazon employees who work
[430]
at the distribution centers to meet the
[432]
demand for items and the promises amazon
[434]
offers to its customers employees are
[436]
faced with the kind of pressure usually
[438]
reserved for Olympic athletes undercover
[440]
reports and next employees reveal that
[442]
everything is timed basically you work
[445]
against the clock and failing to finish
[447]
on par leads to disciplinary talks for
[449]
managers workers are faced with
[451]
termination if they don't complete
[452]
packing certain items in under two
[454]
minutes
[454]
bathroom breaks are reportedly timed and
[456]
sometimes ambulances are called to take
[458]
exhausted workers to the hospital the
[460]
independent even reported that some were
[462]
made to do compulsory overtime ahead of
[464]
Christmas period leading to 55 hour
[466]
weeks that leave workers so exhausted
[468]
that they fall asleep standing up
[470]
employees call themselves human robots
[473]
many days they walk the equivalent of 10
[475]
miles all back and forth through the
[477]
warehouse Professor Michael Marmot an
[479]
expert on stress at work says this type
[481]
of work significantly increases the risk
[483]
Amazon employees have of developing
[485]
mental and physical illnesses still
[487]
Amazon says it provides a safe and
[490]
positive workplace with competitive pay
[492]
and benefits from day one it's true they
[494]
aren't doing anything illegal and it is
[496]
great that they're able to make people
[498]
work so hard and offer such cheap prices
[500]
but surely there has to be a limit what
[502]
do you think about it number four face
[504]
book sometimes guilt just gets two
[507]
former employees and they have to sound
[509]
the alarm
[509]
take former Facebook senior exec
[511]
Jonathan aha beep yeah who in this video
[514]
explains how he believes the machine he
[516]
helped create is actually ripping apart
[518]
the social fabric of society the short
[520]
term dopamine driven feedback loops that
[523]
we have created are destroying how
[526]
society works bad actors can now
[529]
manipulate
[530]
large swaths of people your behaviors
[533]
you don't realize it but you are being
[535]
programmed then your Sandeep are keyless
[538]
who spoke up during the cambric analytic
[540]
a scandal which revealed that there had
[542]
been a breach of 87 million Facebook
[545]
users data data allegedly used for the
[547]
purposes of influencing important
[549]
political events mr. pollak ela says
[551]
that even back in 2011 and 2012
[554]
it seemed Facebook was focused entirely
[556]
on growth and monetization at the
[558]
expense of user safety he was in charge
[561]
of policy compliance and privacy issues
[562]
and drew up an entire map of
[564]
vulnerabilities the social media
[566]
platform based it was ignored mr. Perot
[569]
keyless also alleges that algorithms
[571]
were designed to maximize time spent by
[573]
users on the site while product design
[575]
was focused on maximizing their number
[577]
of users with a disregard for the harm
[579]
caused by addiction or potentially
[581]
threatening inflammatory content he
[583]
believes that if companies are not
[585]
self-regulating properly they should be
[587]
punished for not protecting people's
[589]
well-being still facebook says that they
[591]
are continuing to invest heavily in
[593]
safeguarding users and that privacy even
[596]
at the expense of profitability number
[598]
three
[599]
uber did you know that 57 million upper
[602]
drivers had their data hacked last year
[604]
no that's because uber tried to cover it
[607]
up it was a massive blunder that some
[610]
experts are describing as amateur hour
[612]
the data was unencrypted they failed to
[614]
inform any of the victims and they paid
[616]
the hackers 100 thousand dollars to stay
[619]
quiet and destroy the data but this
[621]
attitude of protecting their own
[622]
interests over that of their customers
[624]
is actually a pattern during the
[626]
startups meteoric rise to become one of
[628]
the highest valued companies in the
[629]
world there have been systematic
[630]
attempts to undermine competition or
[633]
antagonists when regulators were
[635]
investigating uber in cities where they
[636]
violated regulations uber used a secret
[639]
program to freeze undercover operators
[641]
and regulators from using the service as
[643]
normal former employee Rick Jacobs also
[646]
just alleged that they have a secret
[647]
team dedicated to stealing trade secrets
[649]
from other companies and their employees
[652]
booked fake rides to occupy competing
[654]
services like lyft to ruin their
[656]
efficiency a number of executives and
[658]
employees have stepped down due to the
[660]
exposure of these tactics and uber says
[662]
that it
[662]
changing the way they do business
[664]
putting integrity at the core of every
[666]
decision they make and working hard to
[668]
earn the trust of their customers
[670]
according to their new / CEO darkus Raja
[673]
we still the company has some ways to go
[675]
as it's currently at the center of a
[677]
series of sexual misconduct and
[679]
harassment scandals by former employees
[681]
number 2 Wells Fargo boy by the time
[685]
we're done you're going to want to keep
[686]
your money under your mattress and make
[687]
all your meals at home
[688]
this whistleblower you see Negrete ron
[690]
was initially shot down and fired when
[693]
she refused to make fake credit card
[695]
accounts and real clients names
[696]
endangering innocent clients credit
[698]
histories you seen it claims Wells Fargo
[701]
attempted to bully her into it and she
[703]
resisted he's seen a lost her initial
[705]
lawsuit where she claimed Wells Fargo
[706]
falsified performance reports to justify
[709]
her firing then came the official
[710]
inquiry when five employees joined her
[712]
in the fight filing reports claiming
[714]
they were asked to meet unrealistic
[716]
sales quotas and opened the sham
[718]
accounts to reach management goals and
[720]
Yoshino was called to testify before a
[722]
grand jury
[722]
eventually Wells Fargo settled a 142
[725]
million dollar class-action lawsuit and
[728]
yes inna was vindicated this year when
[730]
she received the James Madison Freedom
[732]
of Information Award for efforts against
[734]
them number 1 good ol Mickey D's
[736]
McDonald's may be a beloved American
[739]
institution but I'm going to let the
[741]
pictures and videos coming up speak for
[743]
themselves former employee Nick posted
[745]
these pictures to Twitter of the
[747]
ice-cream tray at the Louisiana location
[749]
where he worked and some local customers
[751]
accused him of lying or misrepresenting
[753]
in response he posted more revealing
[755]
photos including puddles of mold and
[757]
grease around various equipment after
[760]
posting them to Twitter he was fired
[762]
this inspired a whole movement of
[764]
employees revealing dirty parts of their
[766]
restaurants and employees of similar
[768]
fast food chains posted their own dirty
[770]
pictures like Wendy's employee Christine
[772]
McDonald's has pretty much bounced back
[774]
from this expose and it must be said
[776]
that official statements from McDonald's
[778]
owner John velu zou reaffirmed they
[780]
regularly conduct training to make sure
[782]
members are following safe food
[784]
practices though brand representatives
[786]
reached out to Nick to remove the images
[788]
he refused to do so
[790]
so which expose surprised you were
