Chobani CEO Giving Employees an Ownership Stake in Yogurt Empire | NBC Nightly News
<3
So many endings……
i never thought i will say this `when i grow up i wanna be like you’ and im 36.
employment is a business relationship. the worker should get a fair percent of profitability over their wage when times are good because of their efforts.
+Moby Trice Capitalists would shoot you for this and so would communists. Interesting.
+rawstarmusic ikr
Yogurt sucks
+Chucky Justice You prob say that cuz you can’t taste the goodness, you weak lactose intolerant
@Chucky Justice
yeah thats the kind of thing you would know 😀 time to sleep ow, you had ur attention
+Chucky Justice first 6 months mother milk is important brain and body development
+Cafe Sportster Coffee
He is Kurdish
Why do you need to tell me to subscribe at the end of every video? Lester is annoying. Chuck is annoying. It adds at least 15 seconds to the clips which forces me to have interact with my device to move to my next clip.
Compassionate Capitalism?
+Cream Y I would call it Wise Capitalism .
Changemaker…….the day of the COOP can today work.
Get the GOVtake OUT and the sharing their time and focus.
Its Time
Way to go Chobani. Very noble and cool, better than cashing in and handing out some as “charity”.
In a time where American companies are going overseas, here is a man who comes from half way around the world, get a loan, build a successful company, put 3K Americans to work and then surprises them by making them business partners with a 10 percent stake in the company. Good job man!
+RassBrass Hope Donald Trump agrees with you, may God bless us all !
this man sold his soul to the devil,,,tell me what s a good thing about that? Hes got about 20 years and then nothing
Drew H.
devil?
alex jones fan detected
yeah buddy,,,,hope he counter sues the yogurt company,,,,teaches that muslim some humility
@Drew H.
So do you believe that lizard people are controlling the world?
Chobani CEO gives away his employees 10% ownership of his multi billion company. Religion Islam says, as I had read while doing my masters in economics, employees should have a share in the ownership of the organization. Chobani has done it ! Well Done Chobani, may God bless you here and in the hereafter. You are a practicing muslim therefore a true human being.
Please don’t bring religion into this. He is a very decent man from a decent family. He does not practise islam. I know his family.
he is technically not Muslim he is kurdish alevi…… alevi have another faith not like muslims
Dilshad korg you are technically Right. But If He is alevi. He can not be Kurdish. Because alevi faith is Thé belief Of Turkish nomadic tribes. His family May in time assimiliated to Kurdish.
Why should they? If I run a company and consider giving up some of my ownership up. It will be an extremely small amount in ways where I don’t lose control of my company. I won’t sell it nor give half of it away, ever! I’ll give some to my employees but will eventually get it back but will never give up huge portions away to anybody. I will keep huge portions of my company all the time.
only in america 🙂
+urmil gohil too bad hes not american
wrong he is american long time ago
God bless. this is awesome.
WOW that’s all i have to say. i work in dairy myself but i work for greedy ass people. i cannot imagine my company doing this, it would change my perception of them 100%. unfortunately i really believe they do not think the way this wonderful man thinks. the CEO of the company came and visited the plant. he wouldn’t even introduce himself to us, just walked by us like we do not matter, perhaps in his eyes we are just un-educated bottom feeders. i have nothing but disdain for him. he makes his millions we struggle to get by. more companies should take this as a hint take care of your goddamn rank and file employees, they ultimately are the ones making your rich. filthy stinking rich. stop being greedy assholes.
these employees deserve what they are getting, but so do the rest of us…… as a fellow worker in the dairy industry i must say congratulations. i actually get chobani wash tickets on trucks that i load and unload, i am no stranger to seeing that name. now i want to buy some of their products as the employees now own part of this company.
Great example.
And they tell you that Muslims are anti-America! He’s American Muslim millionaire boss gave a 100z of 1000z to his American workers! Who the hell do thats?!
+cambodiansavage IF he would do something bad you wouldnt have problem with mentioning that he is muslim.
Actually he’s a Kurdish Alevi.
Alevis are nice/smart generous people.
rasit basak hamdi ulukaya is originally from Tunceli too,so what about this?
rasit basak actually i say same thing people is matter not the city or country
LYB Rebel he is NOT a muslim
You sir.. are an inspiration! Thank you
any job offerings there?
Too late now! :))))
Michael Marrone lol with that attitude you aren’t gonna find a job anywhere
Fantastic news
god bless u,u r so kind
Good on you mate.well done
He could have just kept that money and say “WHAT?! I worked so hard! I DESERVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” of course he is better than that and gives back.
This should serves as an example to CEO’s raking in $100 million a year. There is no justification for accepting so much. Capitalism would never have allowed for this to happen. We stopped having a Capitalist system long ago.
A kurdish alevi big boss.
from turkey…
Cengiz söğütlü aaaahhh illa ki milliyet…etnisite değil tabii…insana kimsin dediklerinde kürdün bir karşılığı yok tabii..pkk vs terör örgütleri dışında…ama Türk dendiğinde ya da fromTurkey,bir karşılığı var;)! kapiş!??
Respect to this man in world full of corporate assholes.
Amazing!
He is a Turk, it is in our blood to share what we have, in Turkey almost every wealthy family help the city in which they live and work, this way they help a lot to the country. but the act of this man is amazing.
no he is not Turk ,he is Kurdish man also your turkish government jailed him when he was student after they released him he left turkey ,so don’t get credit from this man not you not your country
kurdish not turkish
zaten bi bok becerince kurd oluyorsunuz….
Cengiz söğütlü zoruna mı gitti it?
Cengiz söğütlü işine gelince Türk, gelmeyince kürt. adam kendisi kürt olduğunu söylüyor, ne diye zorla Türk ettin adamı?
Greed build this country and greed will destroy it .. Who is going to save it then ? Turkish people ?
This businessman is a Muslim from Turkey, if he was refused entry into this country this business and these job would not have existed. Which corporation in America gave 10% stake to their employees? Did Trump corporation share ownership with his employees? No, Trump sees himself in a different class from ordinary Americans and therefore he is not willing to transfer his wealth and share it..
& now he is president. let’s see how he gonna at least create jobs
he is an alevi, not a muslim. thats different ^^
xuchilbara21392 are you stupid ? alevi or sunni they all muslim
And he is an immigrant, Mr Trump!.
He is an example of entrepreneur but more important, an example of human being! Nobody needs 3 billion dollars to be happy. He is happy sharing them! That’s great! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart
Trump is fine with immigration. He doesn’t like illegal immigration.
Trump has an issue with illegal immigration. Chobani immigrated legally.
legal immigrant moron
@SideAI His name is not chobani 😂
0:49 Heisenberg
Hahahah
he deservse e Nobel prize, i don’t know in which field, but for sure deservse it, not shimon perez who won it for Peace by killing for many years innocent civilian palestinians
Adi A on the spot
i hate yogurt, but i bought some Chobani today just because of how baddass this guy is..
Bobby Robertson this is the reason why I buy it lol. Not bad at all.
boycott this yogurt….. the hired hundreds of refugees that do not belong in America there is no way to see if they are Isis or not
+Michael Marrone get some history lessons narrow brain,not a surprise
Sir, You might never know what time God All Mighty makes ANY people in any country on HIS earth a refugee, so hear it from a pro, smaller your ego.
you are just jealous that he is a billionaire, and you have done nothing with your life
Michael Marrone He is a Kurdish Alevi. The Kurds are Anti ISIS.
Michael Marrone Get out of ur mom’s basement u racist coward lol
That is my dream for the whole earth. that every human and every living creature has their share of earth, live work produce contribute to the family earth while their feet on their share feeling like a partner not slave
THE PUT IT BACK TO 6 OUNCES!!! GYPPERS 5.3 IS A BITE! BETTER YET, MAKE IT 8OZ. A FULL CUP!
oh, the irony of a Turkish man becoming a billionaire off of Greek Yogurt
farraz younus It is ironic because Greeks and Turks hate each other. That’s the irony behind a Turkish man making billions off of Greek yogurt. And second, if you watched and listened to the video, he’s “an immigrant from Turkey”.
HASSPREDIGER20/Wurst-Achim lol don’t get a hemorrhoid. He’s from turkey. It’s not hard to argue
Hes kurdish.
He hires refugees
Does he use E-Verify to assure that he is not hiring ILLEGAL immigrants? Is Chobani himself even a US citizen?
this yogurt sucks .
If NBC promotes Chobani then I will BOYCOTT CHOBANI for sure–never bought it anyway. All CHRISTIANS should BOYCOTT this Muslim-owned company. (Muslims DENY Jesus is Messiah and they follow (Allah) Satan. Their Mohammed was a mass murdering pedophile.) This CEO Hamdi Ulukaya recently brought in hundreds of WAHABI-SUNNI throat-cutting Muslims to work at his Idaho factory. It’s not even the GOOD yogurt for your stomach.
I bet the factories are not so clean. Boycott chobani and buy real authentic greek yoghurt like fage, the original and best. Chobani has zero connection to Greece, don’t waste your money on this garbage.
Sofocleous Steve the Kurds also make this kind of yogurt, it’s not just from Greece. So I guess he took what he knew and made a company 🙂
Of course. trump wants to ban people like this.
Deport Chobani. Make America Great Again.
thank you turkish guy
Cengiz söğütlü by everybody known: he is kurdish, please don’t put him in any other cases
Başarılar
0.49 breaking bad actor:))
True Muslim
Unbelievable. who does this > ???
I like this boss…I love the way he operates
Respect to the Muslim businessman. This is true Islam. Respect.
There are no self made business’s. Without employees, corporations don’t make a dime. Without taxpayer infrastructure ther is no business. Lets hope chobani is a catalyst for future corporations to make employees true shareholders
this guy rocks!
“we are partners” oh really cause “partners” means 50/50 in stock ownership! 10% of what the 10% non voting stock? owners like him are such liars and deceivers
That’s right, the Kurdish Mercy and Appreciation his mother thought him has returned to his employees in an amazing way!
Good heart good mind is good people
