Employees of a call center contractor for Amazon are complaining of dangerous working conditions in the city of Cebu, in the Philippines. Business Insider reports workers say they're being forced to make an impossible choice: either become infected with COVID-19--or starve. The contractor, Teleperformance, provides call center services for Amazon's Ring video doorbell products. Dozens of the call center's employees have developed flu-like symptoms, which are characteristic of COVID-19 infection. As public transport has been shut down in Cebu, workers were sleeping on the floor at work so as not to arrive late for their shifts. Workers say that workstations aren't properly sanitized, and when shifts overlap, or when staff sleep on the floor, it's difficult to socially distance. Workers allege that cleaners come through sporadically and when they do, it's with a bucket of water and a towel. People are scared because we don't know who has it and who doesn't have it. But people don't have a choice, because it's either you will be infected or you will die of starvation. Contractor, Teleperformance

Spinning giant SoulCycle filed for an IPO the same year Melanie Whelan took the helm. But just four years later, she resigned. Or, to be exact, was pushed out. According to Business Insider, Whelan's 2019 corporate demise stemmed from her trying to expense on a company credit card two Christian Dior bags, totaling $5,100. One was a purse for herself, and the other was a backpack for one of her 'favorites,' Patrick Ryan-Southern, the head of international markets. Staffers say Whelan was repeatedly asked to produce receipts for the purchase, which she tried to pass off as one big gift for Ryan-Southern. Accused by SoulCycle staffers of running a toxic, 'mean girls' culture, Whelan now runs an investment firm.
