Just curious - how many people on here work for what is regarded as an 'evil' company either by people on these forums or just generally?

If you do, is it really as 'evil' as portrayed?

No need to mention names unless you want to :)

For myself - Yes I do, and no it is not. And no, not naming names :p

I'm pretty sure my company is classed as evil by the environmentalists and anti-globalization people and maybe human rights for there activities outside Europe?
 
The sector I work in is classed a generally evil, even though the company I work for is one of the least evil in the market, though we are just about to become one of the most evil, as we have just been taken over by one of the most evil.
 
I think they are Evil & witness evidence of attempted World Domination all the time. They use the Dark side to subliminally control anybody on the premises who just turn into Zombies who blindly wander about picking random stuff because it has OFFER written above it & then they willingly go & stand in lines & give there money over. :confused:

I can't really say any more or they'll kill me in the face. :(
 
I'd like to think that the ambulance trust I work for are not perceived as evil by the general public. I'm not so sure about the perceptions of those who work for the them though!
 
I used to work for a subsidiary of Halliburton that was subsequently subject to a management buyout. Obviously Halliburton were viewed as the spawn of the devil back during the Gulf War 2, but months after the buyout anti-war protestors stormed our office building and barricaded themselves inside the CEOs office as part of their protest against the war. After some time the CEO went in to talk to them, explained we weren't part of Halliburton and had zero involvement with any Iraq work. They looked somewhat embarrassed when the police carted them off.

Muppets.
 
They're not a well known company, as I guess you are mainly referring to.

I wouldn't call them evil per se, but the management can be pretty callous at times, especially towards the agency staff there. Their management practices seem pretty silly at times too, money grabbing for the short term, rather than adopting approaches which would see them better in the long term i.e. trying to screw the large companies which we supply rather than passing a percentage of the process improvement savings on to them. To my mind this makes it more likely that another company could undercut our prices and steal our business, and make it less likely for them to tender new parts to us.

Haha, brilliant :D Surprised they listened enough to the CEO to be embarrassed.

Royal Mail, Not an Evil company as such, Just a bit backwards in coming forwards and the "1970's shop floor steward one out all out we want inflation busting payrises in a recession and all wish we had bob crow rooting for ua" is laughable.

Corrected that for you ;)

As a serious point, management must be pretty shocking considering the placement and reliance on your business the country has.
