People have always liked gossips and news about the 9 most hated companies in America in 2020. The reason is these companies are wealthy and they have influence on the world economy and people’s lives. Naturally, in many cases these companies deserve hatred, as they are involved in wide range of scandals, such as sexual abuse and assaults, frauds and bribery.
Although companies and organizatons know that they depend on public perception, they are involved such scandals from time to time. Especially in such a virus-stricken period, like this year their reputation should be the first for these businesses. If they allow themselves to get bad reputations and/or have worst customer services, they can go bankruptcy. These companies generally operate with market harmful products, lack effective security,have unfavorable customer ratings, disdain ethical practices, terrible work environment, suffer internal wranglings and so on.
It’s the best to avoid to be on a list like this as it can cause lots of damages to a business however they do the most harm to themselves. Nevertheless, I do think that every company has its own dark side, and there’s even one skeleton in every wardrobe.
Now, without a further ado – let’s have a look at the list of the 9 most hated companies in America in 2020.
