I knew a few people who worked at Whole Foods before they got bought; they seemed relatively happy with how they were treated.

>before they got bought

this is the key - the bigger the organization, the further removed the workers are from the leadership. Consolidation and expansion removes a company's humanity. There's tons of examples of smaller companies that treat all their staff well. There's no examples of huge conglomerates who do.

I mean, Whole Foods wasn’t small before Amazon bought them. They’ve gotten bigger, no doubt, but they weren’t exactly a neighborhood coop either.
