Chobani employees were delighted yesterday as the company’s CEO, Hamdi Ulukaya, announced that he would be granting them up to 10% of the greek yogurt manufacturer’s overall value. Each employee could, on average, receive up to $150,000 if the company were to go public via an IPO. Ulukaya’s decision stemmed from a desire to “create something special and of lasting value” that would reward his employees. The labor conscious CEO has also been a champion of higher minimum wages and support for refugees.
