This lingerie startup gives workers $10,000 when they quit
"We would do it for anyone that has put in a lot of hard work and effort at Adore Me," CEO Morgan Hermand-Waiche said to Bloomberg.
"It's great for someone inside the company. It makes them more willing to stay," he added.
One person who received this reward was Julie Tracy, Bloomberg reported.
A representative from Adore Me told Business Insider that Tracy was the company's fourth employees.
"We don't like to have our team members needing to wait for the day we sell and IPO to get the reward of their work," Hermand-Waiche said to Bloomberg.
This practice also seems to be a way of paying it forward.
"It's just a way to say thank you," Hermand-Waiche said to Bloomberg. "Maybe one day they will come back, maybe they will tell their friends about it and it will get us some great leads."
But, some experts remain skeptical of this practice.
"Are you kidding me?," Bruce Elliott, manager of compensation and benefits of the Society of Human Resource Management, said to Bloomberg. "Organizations don't give away money like this to be nice. There's got to be an end game here. There's got to be some sort of objective. How will it benefit the business?"
Meanwhile, Adore Me has been growing rapidly, and this new buzz comes on the heels of positive news about the brand.
