They are not only fucking over their employees. They're fucking over all tax payers and straining the countries they are allowed to operate in, while funneling those dollars to top executives and shareholders.

These companies rely on social programs like welfare and food stamps to support their front line staff. They drain those programs for their own profits, and leave the governments less able to help their people. This is vampire capitalism.

The article is about a new report from the Institute for Policy Studies which identifies the top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms. The full report is linked from the article to here: https://ips-dc.org/report-executive-excess-2023/ , I opened the PDF and pulled out the full list.

Why is epam on this list? They charge more than most other contracting firms

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean charging customers more does not mean they are paying their workers more.

That just means more profits. How does your brain operate.
