Direct quote from the article: In a particularly damning missive, one person claiming to be a former employee wrote in to describe the systematic refusal to pay small, women-owned businesses as they had fewer resources to fight back.
- luckylion 8y agoSo anonymous hear-say is all there is? And is the company even small? "Some of our bigger customers purchase up to $15,000/week with us" sounds like they make > $100k revenue/week regularly, baking thousands and thousands of cakes every week. I don't know SF standards of small, but that sounds like a solid operation to me - one that definitely has the resources to go after a corporate client that doesn't pay. I still find it weird to focus on gender/sex and ethnicity, and I have my doubts that Munchery invested a lot of time & money into finding out who is behind the companies they don't pay and what the owners' gender is.
- zorpner 8y agoYes, it's clear that you don't believe the woman whose business was impacted, and choose to side with the VC-funded company that stiffed their vendors. You could just say that, rather than pretend to have a bunch of concerns about discourse, and save us all a lot of time.
