    Shame On You AB

    What kind of senior leadership allows some silver-spooned ivy league snot get all the way where she did as a marketing exec with this idea?. Clearly has no idea what her typical customer base is? The BL can is hideous. BL sales in a death spiral? I vote with my wallet, and it clearly isn't BL.

    Effects Of Boycott Continue

    Back to the top...........

    2 execs that disappeared were not placed on LOA...........they were fired (and rightly so) They will be lucky to find jobs in a convenience store selling pop and chips.
    Collateral effects of the BL boycott continue. Sales still down by 28% and July 4th ain't gonna bail them out.
    BL glass bottle plants in NC and Louisiana ceased operations and laid off 645 workers.

    The CEO and some senior management need to be fired along w- a sincere apology…….this will only begin to slow the current curve of brand bankruptcy.

    Clean out the entire executive management team and accept the fact that you will never have the number one rating in this country again.......ever.

    Their CEO was just on the news saying he’d do it all again!

    As in, I am so far removed from the front line that I have no clue who my actual customers are!

    What an idiot!
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    If he said that, why did he remove(admin leave)) two people below him. If he is sticking by the decision, then he should have stuck by them.

    I heard he is pleading for everyone to think of the employees affected by the boycott....that is his job.... not the customers.

    I cant imagine that those that have switched to some other beer are going to go back. I know I sure would not, but I didn’t drink the stuff, so my opinion does not matter.

    I don’t Twitter, but I’m guessing from the title that platitudes are your answer, except beer companies are profiting of the death and destruction of families, I personally don’t care if any of them survive. Employees can find more honourable work.

    Doesn't open the link, makes an assumption on the content, makes the accusations of platitudes... By responding in platitudes, lol. Nice try slugger. Swing and a miss. Nice "screw the employees" comment. You must be a really swell guy

    Modelo? Owned by the parent company of Budweiser. Seems like bailing out the bow of a sinking boat by throwing the water in the stern.

    Explain the link, I’ll adjust my comments. And yes screw the employees, don’t care for anyone selling or making poison. It’s not a platitude that alcohol destroys people and families it’s a fact, especially the way it is marketed.
    Don’t care if you think I’m a swell guy either.
