Big trouble in little Salzburg!
According to an explosive report, Austria’s Red Bull has carried out a “Night of Long Cans” against North American top executives, including CEO Stefan Kozak and and President/CMO Amy Taylor, after leaked memos dated from June 1 detailed employee frustration and criticism regarding Red Bull’s “public silence” on Black Lives Matter.
It is alleged that top Austrian officials held Kozak and Taylor responsible for the leaks and the “internal tensions behind them.”
Employees declared the move was retaliatory.
“Several insiders close to the situation said it was widely believed that Kozak and Taylor were fired by Austrian leadership over the leak and internal tension over diversity issues. Two employees said Taylor had been working on a project to increase Black representation at Red Bull but that the leadership wasn’t interested.”
Both Kozak and Taylor were well-respected and seen as rising stars. Taylor had been with the company since 1999 and a considered a “true leader.”
Florian Klaass, the global head of music, entertainment and culture marketing, was also fired after a corporate presentation slide was leaked to Business Insider that showed a map of the world labeling the Middle East and Southeast Asia as “evil doers,” continental Europe as “pussies” and South America as “coffee comes from here I think.
Images from a 2015 Russian Red Bull Flugtag event featuring Barack Obama and men in blackface chasing a banana have also resurfaced, increasing scrutiny of the brand’s culture.
But what does this mean for No Contest and the questionable touching of professional surfers with ring adorned salchichas?
More as the story develops.
good
Arguing over semantics.. it don’t matter, all instances are deviant
You are right. I really don’t know why the blm megacorp heroes aren’t suffering for their dangerous, genocidal antics.
i really want to go to russia. seems like a great place…
Yup..always carry roofies.
Florian Klaas’ map had Africa -: “Zoo animals come from here”, India – “Call Centres”, Europe – “Pussies”, China – “They make our stuff”, Canada – “Uninhabited”, Middle East – “Evil doers”, USA – “AMERICA WE’RE #1!!!”
Hahah it appears you aren’t even allowed to stereotype ignorant yanks these days! And I thought they were fair game.
i switched from red bull to goya bean juice
Its a one horse race
Yet we always manage to come last?
No race.
Just the Human species
But no issue with selling their poisonous drink, can’t be ‘woke’ and pedaling that horrible shit at the same time
austria.
damn we have an ice cream over hear called “Gaytime” …..
Buy the crumbs and you can be gay without a refrigerator.
The only thing funny about energy drinks is that their drinkers dwindle and drop off as they live through their early twenties leaving us with the realisation that racism should be called out whatever the personal cost.
I pledge to Wayne Lynch, Barton Lynch, Gary Green, Richo, MP, Gerry Lopez, Tom Carroll, Terry Fitzgerald, Simon Anderson, Buzzy Kerbox and Matt Johnson.
Isn’t there enough diversification with Kai Lenny and JOB on the payroll ?
Surely they’re both full-blooded Hawaiians…
I mean, at least put Eddie Rothman on the payroll. They definitely don’t have any Jewish surfers from Philadelphia, and I, for one, am not kvelled about it.
Two skanky not-cute-enough-to-be-stripper chicks rolled up in the parking lot at 2nd Light and started handing out cans, first and last time drinking that foul shit.
Did they have the mini wagon with the oversize can angled on the back? Hilarious. As is the look of disappointment as the skanks can’t give away any of the ‘drinks’ to anyone older than 12.
And we’re they wearing those little silver mini-skirt/crop top outfits, with sparkle glitter and hair tied back in corn rows?
So they were at your local also?
Maybe 20 years ago
Yes they had the can wagon. I think a dude was driving them around, I don’t think they had enough cognitive abilities to drive.
But their tits did look good and that’s what matters.
Oh youse such mysoginist piggy, you offends me microagression. Me feghet-azz gonna screencap this & send to your bozs. Your ass is grass noe. You cry.
i remember being a tthe winter ski/snowboard show in Vegas and Reef had those “models” signing posters and shit, and a bunch of daddy boy wanna be skater/snowboarder kids couldn’t get enough of their asses. It really was fucked as attractive as a stripper in daylight. Thinking now.. fuck.. they probably were strippers.. jajaja.. what a dumb ass i am.
That’s a lot to unpack
No Redbull, No Wings!
Apparently their stocks have been described as ‘red-bullish’.
SOOOOO SIIIIIICK. They went FULL SEND on diversity issues!!!! YEWWWW!
“At the risk of appearing to talk nonsense I tell you that the Energy Drink movement will go on for 1,000 years! … Don’t forget how people laughed at me 15 years ago when I declared that one day I would govern Action Sports. They laugh now, just as foolishly, when I declare that I shall remain in power!”
