Staff at 'feminist' firm allegedly called 'ungrateful' for pay negotiations

Female-friendly brand THINX, a four-year-old start-up famous for its outspoken self-styled “SHE-EO” Miki Agrawal, has attracted further controversy with employees laying multiple criticisms at the firm.

The brand, who retail period underwear, have been accused, by former and current employees, of offering substandard pay, “flimsy benefits” such as short parental leave periods, and insulting salary negotiations – reports Racked.

One former employee spoke to Racked: “Whenever anybody would try to negotiate with [Agrawal] she would go back to the fact that we’re young and just be like, ‘Oh, you’re in your 20s. You don’t need a lot of money.”

Another wrote: “It honestly felt like a middle school environment: pitting people against each other, calling us petty children and [saying that we were] immature and that we're all these millennials that don't know anything.”
