Horrible Warning Steph Korey
“If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.” Catherine Aird. This podcast is a horrible waring. Recently, I read an article published by The Verge on the resignation of luggage company Away’s founder and former CEO, Steph Korey. The article outlined former employee’s complaints about the toxic work culture that Korey promoted. Her management style produced low morale, created high anxiety and shame as a result of public humiliation. https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/5/20995453/away-luggage-ceo-steph-korey-toxic-work-environment-travel-inclusion
Upon doing some research on Steph Korey, I came across a Forbes article written by Jack Kelly claiming that her treatment was unfair. Listen to my rebuttal. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2019/12/13/the-unfair-treatment-of-away-co-founder-and-ceo-stephanie-korey/#5676e8ac1146
