A vegan company lost more than 10% of its workforce after it gave employees 24 hours to decide whether to keep working during the coronavirus pandemic or quit


North Carolina-based vegan brand No Evil Foods lost over 10% of its workforce after issuing a stark ultimatum during the coronavirus pandemic.

On March 19, the day North Carolina reported its first confirmed case of the coronavirus infecting someone via community spread, No Evil Foods gave workers an ultimatum.

The company told employees they had 24 hours to choose from these options.

The first was to keep showing up, with a temporary bump in pay to follow for perfect attendance.

The other was to quit, with no compensation but retaining the ability to apply for a job again sometime in the future — albeit without a guarantee of getting one again. The third was to resign, not to come back, and receive three weeks' severance.

The document was published by the Industrial Workers of the World, a radical labor union. Employees who accepted severance agree that, for the next year, they will not "engage in employment in competition with No Evil," nor reveal the terms of their departure to the media, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by Business Insider.
