Philz Coffee continues to be more and more shitty after the new CEO took over in 2023. First they sent employees home for wearing “Free Palestine” shirts, then they sold the company to a private equity firm, fucking over employees who bought “stock” in the company that ended up worthless, and now they’re taking Pride flags down from stores.

@drahardja ugh makes me sad i spent so much money there

@suzannealdrich that's fine as most of that probably went to decent people. Just don't spend another dime.

Once private equity takes over to load up an organization with debt and bleed it dry there is no reason to have anything to do with the enterprise.

@suzannealdrich It hasn’t always been this bad. I think the previous owner was fine.
