Bradley Gayton, who joined the Coca-Cola Co as general counsel in September and made headlines for requiring its law firms to staff its matters with diverse lawyers or lose its business, has resigned, the beverage giant said in a Wednesday filing.

Gayton will now serve as an outside consultant to Coca-Cola’s chief executive, the Atlanta-based company said in a statement and a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Yup. Liberals are hypocrites., especially the white ones.

I even asked this BLM white boy if he lives in a black neighborhood, he doesn’t and called me a racist LOL. The same way you ask J&J executives if they ever got injected with their own vaccine, Im sure they’ll BS and avoid the question..

“Oh, so the Marxist, racist bastard is making double the money now.”

Chump change for them...much worse to have to settle or lose a lawsuit and then have to populate half of their senior management with EEOCs.

Woka-cola stockholders need to oust the CEO. How many billions have these clowns lost them?

I believe it’s more like, “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”

Today I consumed my first Diet Dr. Pepper after years of drinking Diet Coke. It was quite good. I think I’ll make it a habit.

That or RC cola if one must drink colored sugar water. It mixes with Jim Beam rather well, IMHO.

Coca-Cola sales are just fine and the MLB’s Sunday night broadcast is earning pre-Covid ratings. Conservatives can’t boycott for sh$t. We are doomed.

Those law firms that give in to this should assign only their “diverse” employees to the Coca Cola account.

—”Woka-cola stockholders need to oust the CEO”

Unlikely this jamoke dreamed up this plan and called the news all by himself.

Guessing this plan would have been vetted at all levels before saying a word about it.

How can they back out of this mess?
They suddenly realized there may not be enough attorneys of the color they wanted?
Possibly enough but not at the skill level needed?

This CEO best keep his seatbelt on; rough ride ahead.
Probably checking the color of his parachute right now?

Don’t drink Coke, Pepsi, or any other type of soda pop.

Only drink water, coffee, beer, and whiskey; it’s all a person needs.

Sounds like a for-hire Marxist enforcer for leftist businesses. Then, after having wrought disaster and authoritarian policies on a company’s workers, he leaves, like a herd of locust, to find another business to devastate.

Hard to believe it’s been 36 years since New Coke.
