PepsiCo CEO: Employees are scared for their safety after Trump's election

PepsiCo's CEO said the election of Donald Trump as president was terrifying her employees.

"I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning," PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi told Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times' DealBook conference on Thursday.

"Our employees were all crying," she said. "And the question that they're asking, especially those who are not white, 'Are we safe?' Women are asking, 'Are we safe?' LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?' I never thought I would have to answer those questions."

After congratulating Trump for his success, Nooyi, who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, said everyone in the US needed assurance of their safety.

"What we heard was election talk," she said.

Nooyi also said she was disgusted more generally by the language that has been used to discuss women in recent months.

"How dare we talk about women that way," Nooyi said. "I don't think there's a place for that kind of language in any part of society, not in locker rooms, not in football players' homes, not in any place. And, if we don't nip it in the bud, Andrew, this is going to be lethal force that's going to take over society."

Nooyi said there was an overemphasis on candidates' soundbites and social-media-ready quotes throughout the election, which resulted in a failure to discuss real political issues in a nuanced manner.

Ultimately, Nooyi told Sorkin she thought Americans needed to unite and accept the outcome of the election.

"The process of democracy happened," she said. "We just need to let life go on."

Here's is the full video of Nooyi and Sorkin's conversation:

I totally with the Pepsi CEO!

Since Trump’s election the Left has turned into a violent mob with no end in sight and apparently no bottom to their depravity. Not to mention plenty of funding from “charities.”

Soros is actively hiring active gang members to violently protest in the streets.

I mean, her employees should be terrified - because they will be the first ones murdered when the Left gets militia-level organized and the violence really takes off.

I recommend that the Pepsi CEO and her employees buy guns and ammo, quick. Lord knows what the Left has planned.

“Well hell, now I have to add Pepsi Cola on my DO NOT BUY list!”

- it’s *another* reason. 49g of sugar per can should be reason #1. Sugar is the devil - don’t eat it.

First they killed "Pepsi Next"... now this!!

#I'mSoTriggered!! </sarc>

Seriously though, way to telegraph your illegal hiring practices.
Sounds like a Pepsi facilities are a good place for ICE to start their roundup.
What a dope.

Thanks, I didn’t know Pepsi had their hands in Gatoraid. No more Pepsi products in my house, switching to Poweraid!

Never have liked Pepsi, guess I know the reason now.

[RummyChick]

There is some kind of deal where it is delivered by Pepsi or bottled by Pepsi or something in some regions and when it goes on sale it goes on sale with the Pepsi products

I doubt any leftists will be pulling them out of their cars and beating them.

[angry elephant]

I never drink Pepsi but will give up the Fritos, Taco Bell and KFC.

“Pepsi used to be the Republican soft drink brand”

Interesting.

Here, in Canada Pepsi is the leading cola in Quebec (Coke elsewhere). So much so, that “Pepsi” is considered a (very mildly) derogatory term for les Québécois.

[trisham]

What an idiot.

[Rome2000]

I don’t drink anything but water and rum, don’t do chips or quaker oats either.

Aquafina is a Pepsi product.

No more Aquafina.

Gatorade and Tropicana also to be boycotted.

They ought to be scared of future bottom lines after this crap.

Let’s make Pepsi pay. Big league. Boycott every one of their products until she’s ousted.

Is Pepsi still using Baby crystals. Some how someone at Pepsi thought it was good idea to use Aborted Baby Parts as a flavor additive. Several years ago now but every time I see Pepsi Brand it reminds me how pathetic a product it is.
