We now have a wave of activist employees who purposely seek out jobs with companies that share their social and ethical beliefs. When Wayfair’s CEO Niraj Shah refused to comply with the workers’ demand to cancel the sales, employees protested by staging a walkout. One could argue if the company had the best interests of the children, Wayfair could have simply donated the beds, to offer aid without turning a profit. It has been reported that a large number of the Wayfair protesters are Millennials. The employee activism trend is very new, so we don’t know just how it may impact employees in the future.
