No, I don't own any Pepsi stock, wiseass, that is, unless it's one of the hundreds of stocks that make up the mutual funds in my retirement plan.


And even if I did own Pepsi stock and started making a stink about this woman being CEO, I would be "politely" asked by my employer to shut the hell up to avoid trouble. I don't need that kind of crap at work. I like my job, things are going well and I want it to stay that way.

"No, I don't own any Pepsi stock, wiseass,.."

Most people that work for publicly traded companies do actually own at least some stock in that company. It allows them to vote on major decisions and on the membership of the board. It would give you the tools to actually speak out. So no, it was not a wiseass comment, it was a legitimate question.

"I like my job, things are going well and I want it to stay that way."

Unless of course those of us that don't like this move are able to make a difference in the market. Don't worry to much tho', apathy is almost always rewarded.
