During the trial of Kaleb Charters, a manual laborer at one of Atre’s marijuana farms, a former manager named Sam Borghese testified that Atre maintained a “hostile, fear-based” working culture. Borghese told the court that Atre — who had a net worth of some $16 million — regularly withheld his worker’s paychecks, dangling petty grievances over their heads at random.
The employee further testified that Atre would regularly berate the workers whose labor built his fortunes, and fire them when they didn’t show him the proper respect. Borghese reportedly answered over 100 questions related to Atre’s cruelty, adding that his workers made a habit of “joking” about teaming up to rob and hurt the CEO.
Nah, the really big bois aren’t within reaching distance to their employees. They give crazy orders to their executives over telephone from their luxury islands who then have to play a game of telephone with the subordinates and we end up with shit which we complain about to the first line of company workers who have nothing to do with this shit beyond having to follow shit instructions and eat shit every day.
You may be surprised how easy these people are to track down. You’ve got this lemmy distortion field view of CEOs, thinking they’re all like Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg. It is not hard to figure where they live. FFS, Supreme Court justices and House member’s homes are known.
Look what they did here. An armed squad looked up his address, stormed his home. Move fast enough and security don’t matter much, in and out.
