Heads are exploding over transgender star Dylan Mulvaney being the face of the brand

I'm wondering if they can be fired without opening themselves up to a lawsuit? Certainly someone above the woman who came up with the idea signed off on it?

That might be A-B's play here. Bench them and hope they quit on their own. That might close some liability loopholes.

Aren't the drivers and warehouse workers for the local independent distributors Teamsters?

Most people who drink it aren't union workers. So they aren't concerned with supporting their fellow union members.

They claimed they were unaware of the campaign. Her immediate boss is on leave with her. We will see.

Shoot, if someone gives me executive pay to sit at home I'll take it.

Higher level had to OK the fiasco but are trying to shift the blame now.

That’s what I got out of it too.

I find that hard to believe. If they did act on their own then after causing the company this much pain they'd be fired. Unless A-B is more afraid of the woke mob than their own customers.

The employees responsible have been fired and the campaign ended.

Taking a leave of absence isn't being fired.

I’m not buying that either

It was a forced leave. That was the report. Neither one of them wanted to take it. My guess is that as they lose more money and market share, someone needs to be sacked. They will quietly disappear eventually.

Of course it was reported that neither of them wanted to take it.

They’re lying?

Sure. It needs to look like punishment or at least a change in the company's direction but not so much that it'd set off the left. It's a fine example of strategically straddling the fence.

Maybe. I still think that they will be fired. A lot of money lost. And the left is pissed anyway, gay bars are boycotting it now because AB backpedaled.

So let’s say the marketing people are fired and then executed for all to see. What next?

Where'd the execution stuff come from? Right wing personalities have only been asking for an apology. Which I guess for an extremist on either side could feel worse than death.

Dylan needs to cut her pecker off.
