Hello and welcome to the corporate casket, a semi-weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

I'm the aluminati and today we're going to be talking about Victoria's secret.

As of writing this, news has recently broke that Victoria's secret is, as one headline puts it,

swapping angels for what women want.

There's been a lot of speculation if

Victoria's secret will actually stay true to their word though,

considering their history. But what exactly is their history? I'm sure it's not

going to surprise many of you that there have been accusations of misogynistic attitudes among the higher-ups and

models have faced sexual harassment, but to what extent? Is it really the culture of

Victoria's secret or just a few terrible individuals?

Today we're going to take a look at that all the way to the end, and I'll let you determine

if you think Victoria's Secret actually deserves a second chance.

I do want to give a content warning here and say that sexual harassment will be mentioned pretty frequently in this episode.

Normally I'd say that you could skip over those parts, but because it's so pivotal to many of the

points we're going to be discussing today skipping over it isn't really going to be

possible so if that's something you might be sensitive to please make sure to

skip over today's episode and I'll see you in the next one.

Now let's dive right in and start as always with the company history.

Roy Raymond founded Victoria's secret in the 70s after the sexual revolution had started but before companies had time to catch up.

As Roy explained in the 60s and 70s when he wanted to buy lingerie for his wife he was

quote faced with racks of terry cloth robes and ugly floral print nylon nightgowns.
