Correct, maintaining their image as a “good company” is extremely important to Costco and their success as a business. They don’t even give out a 3.7% cost of living raise to employees that received “excellent” annual reviews, the max is 3% unless you change positions

I’d say more calculated than remarkable given their long outspoken history with regards to employee relations.

They already have union employees. I didn’t know till this came out a few weeks ago. From what I can tell, Costco doesn’t try to union bust. I’m impressed with their response to the situation

They don’t try to bust unions and they try to offer conditions good enough that the employees don’t feel the need for it, which is extremely rare in North America…

Everyone I know who worked for Costco or works for Costco has loved it. That says a lot about the company.
One of my friends has a STEM degree and said if she had stayed at Costco, she’d make more money and have better benefits than she does now.
No company is perfect but we need more Costcos and fewer Walmarts in the world.
