Workers at No Evil Foods’ North Carolina plant were furious at the news, according to audio of the layoff announcement.
A self-described socially conscious vegan food manufacturer laid off its entire production staff in North Carolina on Friday, infuriating workers who said the lack of notice and severance pay was out of step with the company’s stated values.provided to HuffPost by a source captured stunned workers shouting back at company leaders who delivered the news.
“They got a better deal ― the ones that fucked up,” added one worker, in apparent reference to the company’s leadership. “The reality of the situation is the company has essentially run out of money, and we’re now really forced to make some really big, really difficult changes,” he said in the audio obtained by HuffPost. “It’s coming down to whether or not there will be a No Evil at all.”
“We would have big monthly meetings about core values and family and respect and save-the-world,” said Rapier, who added that he did not make the audio recording. “They preached all of this stuff, but then when it came down to it … they were very, very cutthroat.”Companies generally are not required to provide severance pay unless a contract requires it.
