Jennifer Sey's ox was finally gored.
Ms. Sey, you were perfectly OK with Levi's liberal positions when it aligned with your positions, so I don't really have a lot of sympathy for you.
Not-The-Bee, welcome to the party. Levi's has hated us for, literally, decades. This is nothing new. They've been anti-gun since 2016, and that was while Ms Sey was a happy employee.
The problem is that companies have committees and meetings about what political stances and messages they wish to project.
How about just making pants?
How did making jeans become something that needed to project a political message?
More to the point, how does alienating, at least, half the potential buyers in your largest market make any kind of economic sense.
How did making work pants suddenly become fashion for communists and socialists?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely, McThag. She done did it to herself, and when the company went too far left of her progressive little heart, they got rid of her. Just like any woke social movement or company, always continually shifting left and turning on those that don't shift left enough quick enough.
Haven't worn Levi's since the 70's when they were going for up to a hundred dollars a pair (remember the Levis trade into the Eastern Bloc nations?) I buy what's cheap and fits me, which is often some Walmart brand or lesser known US brand.
Beans, American jeans and Playboy magazines have always been currency in the old Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.
DeleteI wonder about that every time I hear about companies being openly political.
ReplyDeleteHow is alienating people worth the statement? Especially publicly traded companies that have a legal obligation to maximize revenue.
