Gillette CEO says $8bn loss is “worth it”

"I don’t enjoy that some people were offended by the film and upset at the brand as a consequence. That’s not nice and goes against every ounce of training I’ve had in this industry over a third of a century," he said. "But I am absolutely of the view now that for the majority of people to fall more deeply in love with today’s brands you have to risk upsetting a small minority and that’s what we’ve done."

Not nice? Is this guy really calling avoiding his brand not nice?

What a fucking tool.

In what other world / business / socio-climate would an $8bn loss be “worth it”? Any justification to disparage men I suppose...

Well, it saved me money by switching, so, I guess, he's right.

We'll see how long his shareholders tolerate worthy 8bn dollar losses.

That doesn’t sound like “I’m sorry.”

I'm tempted to let my emotions get the better of me and just tell this guy to go fuck himself but from a business standpoint it's very interesting how whenever these people start to fail in life they immediately turn to feminism and social justice bullshit. They seem to think that it has a bigger reach than it actually has but in reality the vast majority of people just aren't interested in this crap.

If only this sort of attitude from the public would translate to politics.

It really doesn't matter to the CEO. He'll be axed, retired or something else. The golden parachute will soften the landing, and some other "woke" company will pick him up.

Good. Double down on it, P&G; triple down on it. Please do go all out.

I honestly didn't think it would hit them that badly. Nobody offline really even knew about it in my circles. I am impressed guys, very impressed. Maybe by this time next year we won't even see their razors in stores.

Must expand beyond mere Gillette to other Proctor & Gamble products. I had to give up Head & Shoulders, but... I am worth it!.... Or have I got the wrong product range?
