• No Evil Foods, based in Asheville, North Carolina, is giving some staff a two-month raise of $2.25 an hour, after employees told Business Insider they were unhappy with its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
• The company had earlier tied a boost in pay to perfect attendance, a policy that spurred employees to begin circulating a petition.
• In March, the company lost over 10% of its workforce after giving employees a 24-hour ultimatum: stay, and get a temporary raise in the fall for perfect attendance; quit and maybe come back in the future; or leave and agree not to work in the industry for a year, in exchange for three weeks of severance.
• A spokesperson for the company would not say whether the raise extends to warehouse employees or new hires.
