Reply to comment by Prima13 in Anyone confirm if Fifth Season is shutting down their business? by Big-Cockroach-5986

Got a tax incentive to build a farm in a low income neighborhood, promised to hire within the neighborhood, didn’t pay said employees a livable wage, charged an outrageous amount of money for a tiny bit of salad, a topping, and a dressing in uppity stores like Whole Foods.

I'm from the area and this angers me. No different than the fracking industry. Were they going to try to grow pot.

They were not going to grow pot. Many high dollar investment avenues immediately close when you start with growing pot as it’s still federally banned. Source:worked there for years Anna aka shewolf has an axe to grind and her comments do not paint the whole picture.

We definitely have an axe to grind. If you weren’t in the farm with us and were one of the many who built things that constantly broke, and fixing these things resulted in injuries. Weird way to put that we were treated poorly, never listened too, and extremely underpaid. But if “axe to grind” is how ya wanna put it 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

May I kindly remind you that doxing someone is against the rules.

I came in early, worked through my lunch breaks, worked late, almost every day, and worked weekends and I was never taken seriously as a dedicated employee so you’re damn right I have an “axe to grind”.

There were talks about it but with the way PA controls medical marijuana and the only few farms we have controlling the entire industry, it was probably not going to happen for quite some time.

I think that they bailed when they did because of the Fetterman/Oz debate. They were likely counting on Fetterman to help get pot legalized at the federal level. The election is probably going Oz's way right about now. I don't like Oz but it seems a bit funky that they went out just before the elections.

“Going crazy about” I had the exact same problems. There were only 4 of us that worked day in and day out in that farm. So unless you’re one of us you truly have no idea. We were totally separate and did not have the same respect given. Words like “crazy” is really unbecoming. It’s even more of tell of the abuse and continued brushing off of dealing with abusive coworkers for nearly 2 years.

I meant crazy as ranting but could not think of the word at the time. I worked there for over a year and never saw and coworkers abuse each other. not sure if it was just the department I was in but there never were any problems and all workers got along. If something like that did occur why wasn't it ever reported. Management was more than friendly and helpful

An abusive employee was reported multiple times until they blew up in a meeting and scared the crap out of all of us and was finally let go.

You worked in the office then. With 1 female. At one point there were 3? Maybe? The wearhouse and farm were an entirely different world. Our works was complete opposite. Crazy is not a respectable term to use, especially when we are referring to the abusive work environment we endured. So think a little longer next time. And while management was helpful for you, the only manager that was helpful for us was our farm manager. He was met with roadblock after roadblock when trying to make our work life better.

Calling a female “crazy” for telling my truth is the exact kind of sexism I am speaking about.

The more I read this the more disgusting “I am unsure what she wolf is RANTING about but in my time spent at the company HER “PROBLEMS” were never an issue with other employees and just her and seems to be exaggerating.” Gets. As another person is here confirming all of this with first hand documented experience. Was present for all of this and was also treated the same.
