Vegans are such a tiny share of the market that it’s not surprising that a specialty company like that would come up short.

“On March 19, the day North Carolina reported its first confirmed case of the coronavirus infecting someone via community spread, No Evil Foods gave workers an ultimatum.

The company told employees they had 24 hours to choose from these options.

The first was to keep showing up, with a temporary bump in pay to follow for perfect attendance.

The other was to quit, with no compensation but retaining the ability to apply for a job again sometime in the future — albeit without a guarantee of getting one again. The third was to resign, not to come back, and receive three weeks’ severance.”

right out of “Glengarry, Glen Ross”:

“First prize is a Cadillac, second prize is a set of steak knives ... everyone else is fired.”
