Pepsi CEO: 'My Employees Were All Crying' After Trump Won
Yahoo News ^ | December 14, 2016 | Julia La Roche

On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump added three more high-profile CEOs — Pepsi (PEP) CEO Indra Nooyi, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk — to his Strategic and Policy Forum.

“My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland,” Trump said in a statement.

With Pepsi’s Nooyi on board, expect there to be plenty of discussion about some serious issues.

Just two days after the election, Nooyi, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke at the Dealbook Conference.

“Is there a box of tissues here?” Nooyi responded when asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin for her reaction to the election results. “I’ll tell you, first of all, I want to congratulate President Donald Trump. Because the election is over, I think, we should mourn for those of us who supported the other side, but we have to come together and life has to go on.”

She added that she had to answer a lot of questions from both her employees.

“They were all in mourning. My employees were all crying. The question that they are 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.”

She continued: “So, I think that the first thing that we have to do is to assure everyone living in the United States will be safe. Nothing has changed because of this election. What we heard was election talk and we will all come together and unify as a country. So, the process of democracy happened. We just have to let life go on.”

Their Board of Directors should be executed by their shareholders.

You are welcome. I only found out about that last month when this story first came out, and I looked it up.
Until then, I operated under the same assumption.

Apparently your employees drink a lot of that poison you sell.

This is what happens when you hire a bunch of snowflakes with PhDs in Pissed Off Women Studies.

Nooyi should be shunned from a great distance.

I cried the early morning hours of Nov. 9 when it was announced that Donald Trump is now the 45th president of the United States . I was so happy and releived that we can now have a chance of having our country back. It has been 8 long arduous years.

All her employees? No, just the college indoctrinated ones in the office. I’ll bet half or more of the production workers voted for Trump. The drivers, factory floor workers etc. But hey, those little people don’t count.

I wonder if PepsiCo will keep their pseudo-bh0 emblem or go back to the pre-2008 classic?
