> This is disturbing and in no way represents working at Handy. Companies go through growing pains and these facts have no bearing on us today
> When Amanda says she applied 1.5 yrs ago, our company was newer, smaller and still figuring out best practices. Things have changed since.
> We do not stand for racism or sexism of any kind. That kind of behavior is not tolerated and never will be.
> We understand that our employees and professionals are the lifeblood of our business and we work every day to ensure their happiness.
They don't seem to deny what Amanda is saying. And I don't see how they can say they've changed if some of those same people still remain...
- TarpitCarnivore 12y ago> This is disturbing and in no way represents working at Handy. Companies go through growing pains and these facts have no bearing on us today I take issue with this statement the most. The author clearly identifies the CEO, whom is still there, was present when the comments and inappropriate jokes were being made. It's entirely possible the CEO did say something, but I'm guessing based on the tone of the article they did not. While it's natural for a company to go through growing pains I've never heard it used in reference to office culture how customers are treated. If this was going on 18 months ago it means it's still there today.
- MBCook 12y agoI saw that as nothing but an admission of guilt. I wonder if the tweet will stay up. I bet their corporate lawyer won't be happy when they see it.
- organsnyder 12y agoExactly. Symptoms of "growing pains" include struggling to meet obligations, disorganized management, etc. A blatant disrespect for others is a symptom of a person lacking in morals and empathy.
