Victoria’s Secret Brand CEO Out As Company Struggles Following Pursuit Of Wokeness
The Daily Wire ^ | January 7, 2023 | Ryan Saavedra

Posted on 01/09/2023 7:12:15 AM PST by Twotone

Victoria’s Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk, who was also CEO of the company’s Pink brand, announced this week that she is leaving the company after less than a year on the job.

“Amy Hauk will be stepping down as CEO of Victoria’s Secret and Pink in order to spend more time with her family in Florida,” a spokesperson for the company said. “Amy has graciously agreed to a managed transition between now and the end of March. There are no plans to replace her role.”

The Daily Wire reported over the summer that the company did away with the iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels, replaced models with the likes of soccer star and liberal activist Megan Rapinoe, and even hired the company’s first biologically male transgender model — but, unsurprisingly, the wokeness has not paid off.

Victoria’s Secret fired 160 management-level employees over the summer at its Ohio headquarters in an effort to save the business $40 million.

Notably, sales at the lingerie company dropped by 4.5% to $1.5 billion earlier in 2022, the New York Post reported, adding that comparable sales from the same period in 2021 had declined by 8%.

The people that made her CEO should also disappear

Most don’t care to see obese or tranny models in lingerie.

As a whole, women themselves are to blame for the destruction of feminine beauty. I hope it was worth it to them.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

This has become such a sure thing that I bet some stock players are using this to their advantage.

“Hey, such and such stock is going woke... sell short on as many shares as you can”

[for those unfamiliar: selling ‘short’ is when you sell stock you don’t own at a high price, hoping you can pay it back when you buy them at a lower price in the future]

This has served me well throughout my adult life: When someone is doing something during any kind of negotiation or the performance of their job that makes zero sense, it means one of two things:
1. They are a complete moron.
2. They are motivated by goals or information that is hidden, or of which you are unaware.

My friend just bought a boat. On it was a 65” flat screen TV that the broker said the owner was going to drive 1500 miles to pick up before she took the boat out.

My rule applies to that, and I don’t think the guy is a moron. Turns out it was part of a “personal property” exception that he was trying to use to “negotiate up” the price after they had agreed to it. Turns out that after she called his bluff, he no longer wants the TV, which has a used value of about $150.

Same thing here. They have goals that are not obvious, and I sincerely doubt they have anything to do with money in this case. Personally, I think it is this, and it’s actually painfully obvious: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)

There should be some way that good guys can despoil Satan of his riches.

It’s the Biden New Age of Wokeness. Lingerie is out. Woman taking a crap on TV commercials is the liberals’ “wildly popular” next big thing.

Nor do women want to shop in stores frequented by tranny.

They should market to half the population that are women, not 1% that are trans.

When I was a teenager, I did not frequent the shopping mall, but when I went there, I was always delighted with the sight of roaming bevies of slim, attractive teenage girls.

Fast forward 40 years to a business meeting in a restaurant adjoining a popular local mall. I was astounded by the herds of spandex-stretching muffin-topped teenage cows.

Young females today have no self-respect.

You would think that these corporate boardroom types would learn from other’s mistakes, like Gillette and not follow suit.

Looking at the women in some of them ads, Victoria definitely is a Secret around there!
