Coca-Cola pauses aggressive diversity plan after chief lawyer resigns

NYP:

Woke Coke has gone flat.

Coca-Cola has paused its controversial diversity plan — that included penalties on outside law firms if they failed to meet racial diversity quotas — after intense backlash.

The pause comes after the orchestrator of the plan, Coke’s former general counsel Bradley Gayton, abruptly resigned last month after less than a year on the job and as criticism of the quotas mounted.

Some questioned whether Gayton’s policies violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says employers can’t treat people differently based on their race. more

  1. “Monica is fully committed to the notions of equity and diversity in the legal profession…”

    …note the word “Equity”.

    …they haven’t changed course AT ALL.

    Plus, the original guy’s STILL getting a HUGE paycheck.

    …drink house brands instead…

  2. All these companies hiring based on any diversity instead of qualifications is illegal.
    I’ve been wondering all along when someone will sue.
    The company my husband works for, Wood, told the employees last year they’ll be hiring women and minorities.
    Most don’t work out. They hired a black recently because he’s black, even though the people in the dept told them he wasn’t qualified. Guess what? He can’t do the job. He isn’t working out.
    These companies will either fail or quietly hire qualified people without looking at sex or skin color.

  3. I love the multi million dollar payoff contract to keep an obvious black bigot from testifying against them and raising hell with his fellow black race grifters.

    The Woka-Cola board also tied him directly to the CEOs hip to ride herd on his NDA. Appropriate punishment for the absolute ass kicking they deservedly received for allowing a black racist into the corporate inner sanctum.

    Its so delicious to see them hoisted on their own woke petard. This black supremist double was literally a handgrenade that detonated in their boardroom.

  4. I stopped drinking Coca-cola and Pepsi year ago. For my Cuba Libres I’d drink RC cola or Winn-Dixie private label cola.

    “Mexican Coke is a big thing in Texas and Louisiana. It’s Coke made the old fashioned way, with real sugar and none of that damn high fructose corn syzurp.

    Imagine my delight when I saw six months ago that Winn Dixie has their own private label Mexican Coke. They can’t keep up with demand! It’s usually out of stock when I stop back by to visit The Beef People. But if they have some I grab a few cases.

    PERFECT CUBA LIBRE
    Goslings Black Seal Rum
    Winn Dixie Sugar Cola
    Lime, 1/4 wedge
    Crushed ice

    …Liberalism: ideas so good that you have to be FORCED to accept them.

  7. “Coke denies that the training was mandatory.”

    No it wasn’t, if you didn’t mind working the night shift in the warehouse the rest of your life.
