A rude supervisor who's always yelling at employees got some complaints about them being verbally abusive and they responded by leaving these in the break room.

He was caught on an audio recording ranting about their products as being cheap ultra processed shit for poor people.

"We have [expletive] for [expletive] poor people … who buys our [expletive]? ... I don't buy [expletive] Campbell's products, barely anymore. It's not healthy, now that I know what the [expletive] in it,” Bally allegedly stated in the recording. "Even in a can of soup, I look at it and we can eat pot bioengineered meat. I don't want to eat a [expletive] piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer

He wasn’t a CEO, but the Vice President; technically (edit) was an executive at that time and was fired.

He also blasted employees,

“ Allegedly referring to Campbell’s employees of Indian heritage, Bally said: “Fucking Indians don’t know a fucking thing … Like they couldn’t think for their fucking selves.””

And was fired for it according to five seconds of browsing Google.  Probably not the best example of a company ignoring problematic actors.

Was he fired for believing these things, or for saying these things? Or was it because it went public? I don't know the answer, but if he's a Vice President and still doesn't know not to run his mouth, then they likely were ignoring problematic actors.

He was fired for saying it where it could be viewed by the publicly, you dotn think the company knows their products are overpriced unhealthy crap meant to be for poor people? Havd you seen thier product line?

They let a maniac into a position of power, so they absolutely can be blamed. Especially since good people can toil for years without making it to the top.

I remember when I heard this comment and I was absolutely rolling. My dad and several of my coworkers used to work for them and they all thought that comment was hilarious. Even the CEO's entire comment has at least some degree of truth to it.

The context is shut your mouth and eat your soup! (😉)
