A woman shared a selfie of herself showing off her Costco badge after a 3-month job search.

The woman was met with derision on social media.

Some commenters mocked the woman, saying it was nothing to boast about.

But the critics were quickly corrected by Costco employees and people familiar with the company's employment practices.

Costco is often held up as an ethical example of capitalism in the way it treats the people it employs, serves, and works with.

Internally, the company abides by a 4 -rule code of ethics, which seems remarkably simple on the surface.

Costco demonstrated its own commitment to its own ethics when it resisted pressure to abandon its diversity initiatives in late 2024 .
