What's the worst company ever. Period.

Bayer. They knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Latin America after the blood was rejected in Europe. This still blows my mind. Some corporate waste of oxygen actually decided to do this. It wasn't an accident. That guy needs to get stabbed with ~~thousands~~ ten fucking thousand of AIDS needles.

Dutch East India Company - The original corporate raiders.

MASS ATROCITIES!

Ok so Nestle for child murder, Bayer for AIDs blood, Union Carbide for Bhopal disaster and its parent Dow Chemical for Agent Orange (Monsanto too).

IBM for helping the Nazis with concentration camps and Degesch for Zyclon B. United Fruit Company and Dutch & British East India Companies for colonization, also everyone that was shipping rubber out of the Belgian Congo.

Everyone who makes landmines, cluster bombs, etc.

I think when this question is asked in 100 years Palantir is going to feature.

The East India Company.

United Fruit Company because they manipulated several countries in Central America and helped the CIA overthrowing the democratically elected government in Guatemala

Unquestionably the (Dutch East India Company)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company]

So many to choose from...

My pick would be Bank of America for their illegal foreclosure practices which have ruined many families' lives, and especially for their role in the subprime mortgage crisis which destabilized the entire global economy and which we are still trying to recover from. Everyone on the entire planet was impacted by the Great Recession.

Chiquita bananas. They literally stole entire south/central American countries and used death squads and the CIA to enslave the workers and kill them when they asked for such unreasonable demands like being paid in actual currency

Nestlé!

Google

They made private data the „new gold“ which it is today long before social media started exploiting it. Changing their motto /code of conduct „Don’t be evil“ into „Do the right thing“ (for our shareholders) didn’t benefit their reputation either…

Dutch East India Company or VOC for sure.

I'm sure there are worse, and it's not one company, but the companies that provide malware to dictatorships are pretty bad, and western countries are sheltering them/not doing much about them.

Examples:

NSO Group (Pegasus)
HackingTeam
Gamma/Lench/Vilicius (FinFisher)

That's the problem, really. Numerous companies do unspeakable evil, which makes it very difficult to name and shame any one of them.

Saudi Aramco or ExxonMobil

Dave's Electronics at 4th & Elm

I can't believe you even put Spectrum in the same tier as Nestle lol.

I'm guessing it would some of the big companies of colonial times, like the British East or Dutch India Companies.

Hard to pick a favorite from the long list.

Johnson&Johnson

swindled does a few episodes about them. It’s FUCKING INFURIATING the shit they got away with.

Stone Mountain Coal Company and the Baldwin–Felts Detective Agency

A lot of good choices here already so ill throw blackrock into the ring

Everyone's already mentioned some of the more popular ones so I'll throw coke in their for the whole Columbian death squad and workers right violations in south America as well as Amazon. I don't think I need to explain that last one.

Murdered numerous workers, women, and children in the US for starting a union. Government let them do it with no repercussions. .
