Ah…the Adobe business model. Make your customers hate your company and product. Bold move.
What was said, from the article:
Local 4 News in Detroit broadcast portions of the recording. In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying, “We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**‘s in it.”
He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”
The recording, which lasted longer than an hour and 15 minutes, included what Garza said was a “disgusting” rant alleged to be made by Bally about his coworkers: “F***ing Indians don’t know a f***ing thing,” and “Like they couldn’t think for their f***ing selves,” it said in part.
The bioengineered meat bit is honestly hilarious to me, it’s clear this guy has no relation to actual production. 3D printed meat is nowhere near viable for the scale of production that Campbells operates at- it can’t keep up with the sheer volume required and it is significantly more expensive than traditional meat production.
Dude’s just gone off the deep end with right-wing conspiracy theories, which makes sense given the whole racist tirade and hating the poor.
Wait till these people learn about chicken nuggets.
Its sounds more like a tongue-in-cheek comment to me.
The craziest thing to me about this is that the employee (who was very smart to record this conversation) literally used official internal channels to report this. Rather than deal with it professionally, they fired him for being honest.
Well, I guess it’s time to leak to the press, then…
Also, from those remarks, it really seems like the VP hates his job. They should’ve done him and the company a favor and fired him instead.
The companies Facebook is getting wrecked by the “MAHA” crowd, which is pretty hilarious. They are not happy about the bio-engineered meat.
That’s so much worse than the title suggested.
“Who buys our s**t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**‘s in it.”
Maybe, I dunno, make it more healthful?
(English pedant peeve: food is not “healthy” or unhealthy; it’s healthful or unhealthful. Living things are healthy, nutrients are healthful. A state of health versus a beneficial quality.)
Technically correct, but actual usage has made “healthy” synonymous with “healthful” as well as far more commonly used. The distinction was pretty useless, anyway. A “who/whom” situation.
Poor people can’t afford canned soup, not since covid. Campbells was was 2/$1, $.79 at most. Now it’s $2. Progresso was 3/$5, maybe $1.50 per. Now it’s $2.79 each.
Crockpot or instapot and a freezer is the way, now.
I guess Instant Pot really fucked up by not calling their product “Instapot,” huh?
I always thought that’s what it was, then I googled “instapot” and found it’s not actually a thing. TIL!
…I’m still gonna call it that, though.
Yup. Crockpot with beans, rice, lentils, chopped veggies, a few bouillon cubes, spices, and whatever meat the grocery store has on clearance. The entire thing will average out to like $1 per bowl, and a big crockpot will keep a couple fed (lunch and dinner) for several days.
The things these rich pieces of fucking trash deserve is a list based on brutality and rage
The title of the article is some serious clickbait. I suggest that you go read the article for yourself or you’ll seriously get the wrong idea.
First, the article is basically not about the VP mocking poor people, but about a lawsuit. A person recorded the VP’s remarks, which allegedly included racist statements against Indian people. He reported the meeting to management, and then he was fired. The article is about a lawsuit for his being fired for reporting racially discriminatory conduct.
(The guy said he recorded the conversation because he thought the meeting would be about his salary, and wanted to get the comments on record, so even if that’s true, it sounds like he knew the VP was a piece of shit who couldn’t be trusted.)
Second, the VP was in IT, and was not involved in the production or sales of food. He had the title of Chief Information Security Officer.
In a big company, VPs don’t actually hold that important of a role in the first place. It sounds like this VP was a serious asshole. Probably the VP’s manager is similarly a seriously incompetent asshole who deserves to be fired, but anybody who has worked in a big company knows these types of guys are a dime a dozen. They weasel their ways in to middle and upper-middle management and it is not rare for them to be completely incompetent and constantly shit on the company and product in private. They often form a sort of asshole clique and make entire sections of a company hellish to work in.
Jokes on him, I can only afford ramen
