Woke kids got into the management dept, the ones responsible need to be fired. And a lesson needs to be learned by corporate America. Get woke, go broke.

Meh.

When CFA told us they were supporting Planned Parenthood, many here told us how much they like their sandwiches.

When CFA told us we should be washing black people’s feet, the endorsements here went down a bit, but not a lot else happened.

Am expecting some to tell us Goodyear tires are good enough to offset their stance, or simply forget about it Nov. 4.

It ain’t kids.. This virtue signalling BS is ubiquitous throughout corporate America. HR is usually the very very worst.

This sounds like an actual appropriate time for a door kicking SWAT raid.

Let loose the class-action lawyers for this clear discrimination recorded for all to see.

So stupid. Why can’t a company simply issue an edict banning ANY political slogan or image on employee clothing? Why be choosy?

It will be interesting to see the impact on the price of the Goodyear stock. It’s drop slightly since this news broke but it’s a very low-value share to start with, under $10.

The price of a share includes the expectation of future earnings and those earnings will now decline.

wearing “black lives matter or LGBTQ pride on their face coverings, shirts or wristbands…will be deemed appropriate
= = =

So what happens if I wear my LGBTQ face mask upside down????

Or Stencil MAGA on my Jock Strap?

This woke company was tanking when the stock market was surging. Racing decreasing radius circles around the toilet bowl is what I call it.

Whatever Middle-Management lunks are responsible for this PR disaster should maybe count themselves lucky that the Goodyear CEO isn’t likely to treat them the way Leopold II of Belgium liked to treat *his* rubber-workers... X.x

What do you do with 365 used condoms? Melt them down, make a tire out them, and call it a Goodyear.

tried CF once...truthfully, not impressed....and now, with their capitulation, its so easy to never go there for any reason....

I know boycotts seldom work but sometimes they do....

goodyear won't get our business.....

You can be sure it’s not originating from them. Their head of HR and/or diversity officer came up with this dumb idea. Letting HR run your business is a bad idea. They are there to execute policy, not make it.
