I worked for PepsiCo for thirty years. PepsiCo was woke long before woke was cool. The company started wobbling 25 years ago. Something happened 30 years ago that bears out the reasoning of this article. Up until 30 years ago the company promoted lower level management from within the ranks of non management, generally non college degreed employees. Of course, these individuals formed the management pool for further promotions. That changed overnight and those entry level managers who had worked their way up from labor were fired enmasse and replaced with 22 year old freshly minted college graduates. The vast majority of all management at the company now were recruited right out college with zero real world experience. You could chart the leftward trend and see it quicken and expand as the entire management team became infected over the the next 15 years. When the left gained control of education, it was all over for the country.

I’ve been laughing lately when I read someone’s comments saying they’re going to start drinking Pepsi after the Coke controversy. I think Pepsi was the first company I started boycotting due to their politics. JC Penny was number 2.
