As consumers, we’re all just trying to do our best. Buy what you need but not too much. Support small businesses, but don’t break the bank. Stop supporting fast fashion and animal cruelty, and make sure that bag didn’t come from a factory where workers are exploited. Trying to be an ethical consumer can be confusing and exhausting.

But if we can’t be perfect consumers, thanks to the landscape provided for us by massive corporations, we can at least try to avoid the brands that are the worst of the worst. Reddit users have recently been calling out the most “evil [companies] not enough people talk about,” so you’ll find some of their thoughts down below. From huge pharmaceutical distributors to fruit producers, you may already be aware of some of these unethical companies, but feel free to upvote the ones you’d like others to stop supporting as well!

    To learn more about how this conversation started, we reached out to the Reddit user who posed the question, "What’s an evil company not enough people talk about?" And lucky for us, they were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. "I hear a lot of ‘so and so company is bad’, for example Nestle ([screw] Nestle)," the OP shared. "There are so many it is hard to keep track of and there are so many terrible ones that go unseen. Reddit seemed an interesting place to ask that, as users often have weird and interesting information regarding there kinda topics."

    "Some of the most unethical companies I have heard of, which are commonly consumed/bought from/used is Nestle, and there’s even a dedicated subreddit called [screw] Nestle, which really opened my eyes. There are countless others, unfortunately," the OP added.

    While it may have been true that breast cancer research comprised only a 21% share of Komen's program expenses (Charity Navigator puts the figure at 28.8% as of March 2018), citing that figure as a criticism of the organization reflects a common misbelief that groups dedicated to addressing particular diseases (e.g., the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the ALS Association) exist solely or primarily to fund and direct research into curing and/or preventing those diseases. This perception is inaccurate: Komen and other groups like it have goals that include delivering a wide array of services to the communities they support beyond the funding of research, such as funding educational awareness and outreach programs, providing screening and diagnostic procedures, and arranging medical treatment and home care for persons currently living with those diseases.

    We were also curious what the OP thought of their post's replies. "Most [of them] did not surprise me, many were about Nestle, naturally," they told Bored Panda. "But others were about different insurers, healthcare companies, and fast fashion brands. Otherwise, there were responses from people affected by unethical retirement and nursing companies, and surprisingly many about ‘fake’ charities, that act as tax breaks and legally pay almost nothing to their workers."

    As a very regular concert goer, I loathe TicketBastard 😡😡😡 the tickets start at face value then “another fan” somehow beats you to the tickets and all of a sudden they’ve all gone to dynamic pricing that is 4x face value. I spoke with a band member who’s tickets were through AXS and he said that they see none of those profits from markups. I kept sending him screen shots of the prices and he was fuming. Back in the day scalping was illegal.

    I encourage everyone to read about Pearl Jam taking on Ticketmaster in 94/95 and was even approached by the Department of Justice to try and break their monopoly. It obviously didn't work and the band ended up paying for it financially, but they at least tried to do something about it. If enough high profile artists would actually band together they might be able to change things. Unfortunately most are comfortable with the status quo and continue to let fans be price gouged into oblivion.

    It's not "no particular reason" the FTC and many other regulatory committees sought to block microsofts acquisition of Activision. Activision owns Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Overwatch and Warcraft. Microsoft already bought Bethesda (fallout, starfield, elder scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Deathloop. Quake, Prey) after already owning Playground games (Forza) 343 (halo) Obsidian (neverwinter nights) Microsoft also owns Xbox.....many of the games owned by activision, are currently available on multiple platforms. Xbox....kinda sucks. But, if microsoft bought another giant game studio with popular properties and proceeded to make them all Xbox exclusive titles, people might not care as much that xbox sucks. That's called anticompetitive practices. Regulators sought to ensure that microsoft didn't do that. That's the reason. With implications that could impact peoples livelihoods.

    It's a 3rd party ticket seller that has a strangle hold on the concert ticket market. Most large venues contract with them to sell tickets to large events and concerts online. Tickets are no longer sold at the venue site. Because the large venues require ticket sales through Ticketmaster, if the artist wants to use a different company or method to sell tickets to their shows to avoid the crazy ticket prices, they cannot play at those venues. They have to go to smaller and less conveniently located venues that don't have those exclusive contracts. Profits off of the high ticket prices go straight to Ticketmaster and the venue.

    We also asked the OP if they believe there is such thing as an ethical company nowadays. "Companies can be ethical, but the moment they become a household name, for example, Apple, they have gone too far," they shared. "In order to get there, they must have put profits ahead of people, their egotism ahead of ethics. I’m sure there are many brilliant, morally uncorrupted companies, but unfortunately, it simply isn’t an effective way of making money nowadays."

    There's not NEARLY enough oversight into elder care in my country (US). In the short time my mom was in a nursing home (just two weeks), I saw a woman with Alzheimer's wandering around the parking lot in her wheelchair - she just wheeled herself out the door and was a few feet away from the busy road. My mom was there for hospice care at the end of her life. She was at the end stage of COPD, and had a buzzer that she could press when things were really bad, and they'd administer morphine. On two separate occasions, the buzzer was completely disconnected from the power source.

    35 Surprising Companies That Are A Lot More Evil Than Meets The Eye Uline. It’s a privately owned business run by the extreme right-wing, conservative Uihlein family. They pump millions into efforts to remove voting rights, especially in Wisconsin and are funders of the election denying lie of 2020. So many businesses get their supplies from this company without looking at their politics. It’s really common that I buy something from a business that has its own brand identity focused on environmental or social activism only to have their product show up in a Uline box. I feel like a pedantic Karen but I usually shoot these companies an email to bring their attention to the politics of Uline and suggest some alternatives like Global Industrial, Grainger, etc. In their response they always say they have no clue. At my own company I worked to get them removed from our internal operations which given the size of the business is not insignificant. Made me proud to see the corporate statement removing them from our supply chain.

I thought it was weird to include a political statement at all, but I liked the statement. I'll do more research before purchasing from them.

When he asked why and how because he ended the automatic payment and the loan is closed they told he that their system must've done it and had to refund it.

    35 Surprising Companies That Are A Lot More Evil Than Meets The Eye Elsevier.

    Established a near monopoly of academic journals. Charge scientists to publish in them (in the thousands) also charge the public to read them (subscription also in the thousands). Convince other scientists to review the scientific content for free (exploiting younger scientists who need to build their CV).

    Basically putting a pay wall on the results of government tax dollar funded research.

    Don’t get me started on how major Universities deal with STEM PhD students. Bringing people in as “students”, make them work 40+ hours a week in lab, purposefully misclassify them as students when really they’re workers, apply for large government grants using data generated by these students, make them do all the grading for the undergrad classes, and then complain when the students are begging for 40k/year. Instead tell them they’re lucky that as “students” they don’t have to pay tuition to be there. At the end of 5-7 years of this treatment they’ll give you a PhD. SCAM.

    This was happening in the California university system. Grad students went on strike to get better pay and housing. Grades got delayed because there were no grad students to grade things.

    35 Surprising Companies That Are A Lot More Evil Than Meets The Eye UPS. I have seen decisions made that have [unalived] employees and then the supervisor responsible get promoted. I have seen managers get fired for removing time worked from time cards only to be hired back a month later. I have saw intentional OSHA violations on a nightly basis for years. I see supervisors relentlessly harass employees. Horrible company in every way imaginable.

    You don't have to be antivax to hate pharma companies. They're one of the biggest examples of Wall Street corruption.

    The textbook industry as well...way overpriced. Change a few minor things and put out another edition every couple years, making the old editions obsolete...just to maximize profits without making any significant changes. Did a lot of photocopying at the library while in university.
