MillerKnoll CEO faces backlash for telling employees to "Leave Pity City" over bonus concerns
Andi Owen, CEO of MillerKnoll, faced backlash after telling employees to "Leave Pity City" in response to questions about the lack of company bonuses. Owen received a compensation package of $5 million last year, while the average pay package for a sales executive at the company is $150,000. MillerKnoll's sales and orders have declined due to a slower economy and higher borrowing costs. Owen urged workers to focus on hitting the company's financial goals instead of asking about bonuses.
