The 4th nominee for The Worst Employer of 2025 is … The Enslaving Executives
OneTaste, a San Francisco-based "wellness" company, claimed to offer empowerment through "orgasmic meditation." However, federal prosecutors allege that behind this façade, founder Nicole Daedone and former Head of Sales Rachel Cherwitz orchestrated a years-long forced labor conspiracy.
Between 2004 and 2018, Daedone and Cherwitz allegedly targeted vulnerable individuals—often survivors of trauma—and lured them with promises of healing. If they couldn’t afford OneTaste's expensive courses (ranging into the tens of thousands), they were pressured into debt—with the company even helping them open credit cards. Members became reliant on OneTaste for food and shelter, lived under constant surveillance in communal homes, and were isolated from their support networks.
The indictment accuses Daedone and Cherwitz of using surveillance, indoctrination, and intimidation to control members, effectively turning a wellness startup into an enslavement operation.

The 3rd nominee for The Worst Employer of 2025 is … The Coprophilic Chief
"[The chief's] actions not only fail to meet the standards of professional conduct but also appear intended to humiliate me and other victims." That's according to a North Bergen, NJ, police officer speaking to People Magazine about his boss, Police Chief Robert Farley.
"Failing to meet the standards of professional conduct" might be understatement of the year. Farley is accused of horrific and unacceptable behavior.

The 1st nominee for The Worst Employer of 2025 is … The Menstrual Marauder

The applicant, who suffers from endometriosis, asked to delay the interview by a few days because of severe menstrual pain. Instead of accommodating her request, the gym declined to interview her further and hired a male applicant with no prior experience—despite her years of relevant experience working in similar roles at other gyms.
