The conditions at the manufacturing plant Foxconn are bad enough that they had to install "anti-suicide nets." The workers live in horrible conditions and experience unreasonable workloads and humiliating discipline. Apple has reduced some of their work with Foxconn, but they still rely primarily on them. Apple also used Irish tax loopholes to avoid some taxes.

Until now, the company works in GMO foods and own the vast majority of seed patents (more than 95 percent). They sue small farmers aggressively and work to discredit dissenters by using fake online profiles. https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127072505 2016-09-28 18:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127072505 Wal-Mart Lacks CompassionWal-mart is well-known for their unethical business practices concerning employees. They consistently place profits before the health of their employees. Just one example is Deborah Shank, who was in a collision involving a semi-trailer in 2000, resulting in permanent brain damage and confinement to a wheelchair. Years later, they sued her family for medical costs, leaving Mrs. Shank to rely on Medicaid for around-the-clock care. https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127073022 2016-09-28 18:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127073022 Toyota Camry https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127073301 Toyota ignored information about safety and delayed investigating possible recalls. In 2009 Toyota learned that their 2009 Toyota Camry had sticky pedals and faulty brakes. Instead of doing a recall for the car and saving thousands of peoples lives, they only decided to put in side airbags. In some cases, Toyota faced accusations of hiding evidence for hundreds of cases involving death and rollovers, putting their drivers and passengers at risk. ]]> 2016-09-28 18:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127073301 The tobacco giant Philip Morris has been considered unethical for years as a great deal of advertising from them targets kids. Despite stricter regulations, Philip Morris still prominently places ads and products in magazines, convenience stores, and delis. They continue to try to create the image of smokers being cool and are considered the biggest reason for young smokers. https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127074698 2016-09-28 18:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127074698 https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127074818 2016-09-28 18:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127074818  Microsoft https://padlet.com/d_seppelfrick/sijirz26z0pm/wish/127076676
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has made lots of bold, shrewd and calculated moves since taking the helm in February, but he also caused a firestorm in October by suggesting that women shouldn't ask for raises.
