For 90 people it can’t be that expensive for a company of Patagonia’s size to expense travel every 6-8 weeks.
With REI’s union busting efforts it seems that two of the biggest outdoor companies I respected for their values have gone by the wayside. I’ll be buying more from the cottage makers going forward.
- FpUser 2y ago"Activism Hours" - WTF is that?
- ohmyiv 2y agoPatagonia is involved in a lot of environmental activism, so I assume it's time for the company to discuss things like that. https://www.patagonia.com/actionworks/about/ https://www.patagonia.com/actionworks/about/

- rpgwaiter 2y agoIf my employer ever setup “Activism Hours” the first words out of my mouth would be “let’s unionize”. Idk what other type of activism would even make sense in that setting
