Bud Light Finally Fires the Two Executives Most Responsible for Transvertising Debacle<br>Except, No They Didn't. They Just Want Conservatives to Think That.

Bud Light Finally Fires the Two Executives Most Responsible for Transvertising Debacle
Except, No They Didn't. They Just Want Conservatives to Think That.

They're still avoiding using the word "fire."

But they want conservatives to know the executives are gone, so they're leaking it to the Daily Caller.

But they're also officially denying that the two have been fired, offering a statement that they two remain on voluntary leave of absence.

So in other words: They're not fired. They just want conservative outlets to claim they're fired, while they reassure the leftwing media and the extremist gay pressure groups that they're still employed.

To hell with this groomerjuice company.

The two top Anheuser-Busch marketing executives who were placed on leave amid the company shakeup no longer work for the brand, a source inside Anheuser-Busch confirmed in texts obtained by the Daily Caller on Tuesday.
Group Vice President for Marketing Daniel Blake and Bud Light Marketing Vice President Alissa Heinerscheid are "gone gone," according to obtained text messages with a current regional head of marketing. The Caller is granting anonymity to the source to discuss legally fraught internal company policy.
"To my understanding if we publicly announced the word 'fire' it opens up the potential for them to sue us. Thats why we said leave of absence," the source said in a text message obtained by the Caller.

That's a lie. Obviously, you're allowed to fire people. You don't have to avoid the word "fire" to avoid a lawsuit. Or rather, whatever you call it, your risk of lawsuit is the same.

This is a complete cover lie.

They just don't want to upset The Rainbow Jihad, and they want to claim "Akshually, those two were fired (but not fired) ages ago, please drink our groomerjuice now."

"The wholesalers would have had an absolute HAY DAY with leadership if they didn't remove her," the source inside the company also said.
"To be fair- Daniel Blake was actually awesome. I think he was just caught in cross fire. But also he did hire her... so that's a fault," the source continued.
"Wholesalers were told they are both gone for good by leadership during in person conversations. They already shifted all their direct reports to new people and the head of marketing," the source added in another text message obtained by the Caller.

This is all designed to be leaked to the conservative press while retaining deniability for everyone who's not a conservative.

Even if this source is on the level, he's relaying what management wants him to think. And like he said: There would be hell to pay if Alissa Heinerscheid weren't removed.

So they claim: Sure, she's removed. But LEGAL COMPLICATIONS prevent us from saying she's removed.

You conservative rubes hate lawsuits, right? Well we're trying to avoid a lawsuit.

Please drink our Gay Beer again, Inbreds.

And here's the denial from management.

...
Update: 3:35pm ET: After the given deadline, Anheuser-Busch reached out with the following statement and did not address any of the questions asked by the Caller:
"Given the circumstances, Alissa has decided to take a leave of absence which we support. In the interest of our employees' safety and privacy, we're not providing any additional information. Daniel is taking a leave of absence. In the interest of our employees' safety and privacy, we're not providing any additional information," an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson said.

The Ace of Spades Decision Desk projects this all to be another corporate con.

Which won't work. Again, Bud Light is running the mirror universe version of the playbook.

They need to be fired. Publicly. Vocally. Then the company needs to lay out *precisely* how they will avoid wading into culture war issues again as a part of its self-abasing apology. Then the CEO and Chairman need to make their own employment conditional on the company holding up the new "No More Culture War" policy by publicly promising to resign if anything like this happens again.

And at this point, even that won't be anough.

This is not a day late and a dollar short, it still hasn't happened and they haven't paid a dime. So keep taking it out of their sales. Miserable bastards.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 28, 2023 01:24 PM (t0OGg)

45 They can't fire them. As long as they are on the books, they can't give any interviews about internal bud light policies. Fire them and they have to find money somewhere.

Its not like other companies are gonna say, "your work at bud light was extraordinary! Here take this pile of cash and then set our brand on fire."

Thats the big lie we've been living, at least for the fifty years I've been alive. This notion that corporations are apolitical and simple instruments in pursuit of profit. Its never been that way, not in any of our lifetimes.

Yet we've naively defended them, all while they were working hand in hand with government to paint us all into a corner. When the shit-heads were doing their Occupy Wall Street shit a few years ago, and protesting Big This and That - we should have been cheering them on. But we didn't, because they were icky.

79 They need to be fired. Publicly. Vocally. Then the company needs to lay out *precisely* how they will avoid wading into culture war issues again as a part of its self-abasing apology. Then the CEO and Chairman need to make their own employment conditional on the company holding up the new "No More Culture War" policy by publicly promising to resign if anything like this happens again.

And at this point, even that won't be anough.

This is not a day late and a dollar short, it still hasn't happened and they haven't paid a dime. So keep taking it out of their sales. Miserable bastards.

The control part is plausible, but even then, TB-InBev could easily control the message. "She's right. We fired her. She screwed up too catastrophically for us not to." It would play well in Peoria.

The key point is your first statement: the balance of terror. They're not afraid enough yet. That's fine. Their eroding sales and downstream problems that will cause will serve as an object lesson to others. It's time to make these companies afraid of their customers again. Bud Light is a good start but it's only a start.

The scary thing about all this is that AB is not acting like a business at all.

What they're acting like is a crappy batch of political hack weenies, who more than they want a successful business and product, want to deny their "enemies" a "political victory".

Sad.

But, naturalfake, naturalfake, I hear you say, "If AB fires them, then they'll lose all their teh ghey customers!!!1 What about that, huh? What about that, naturalfake?"

Well, teh gheys represent, at most 3% of the population according to best estimates. If AB fires those responsible, and apologizes, and promises never to engage in politics again, let's say they regain, oh...half of the customers they lost. That's about 10% percent of their business. If they lose every single gay person, unlikely but if...AB loses at most, 3% of their Bud Light business.

That's still a 7% gain over what they have now.

AB/Bud Light isn't acting like a business. They're acting like political hacks, who hate their customers.

Fuck'em.

108 They can't fire the people directly involved, because they were only following the orders of higher-level management. Plus, I'm guessing 90% of middle and upper management support the gay agenda, so there's no way they'd throw the employees under the bus and risk a revolt among their like-minded colleagues.

The tried and true "lay low and it'll blow over" tactic surprisingly didn't work this time, and they can't stall any longer, so they're trying to muddy the waters with lies and half truths. Guaranteed to fail, and piss off both sides.

Best course of action (they might actually take)...offer the two generous severance packages, help them land jobs with super woke companies, and let the employees say they're stepping down for better opportunities elsewhere. Won't solve anything, but at least puts one issue to rest and stops some hemorrhaging.

153 Oh, for the Love of Life Orchestra. It's "HEYDAY," not "hay day" (it almost hurts even to type such stupidity). Is everyone at InBev a functional illiterate in addition to being all-in on rampant sexual confusion?

There are a couple of Jew-hating trolls what hang out at the Instapundit comments section blaming all of this on the company's temerity at hiring a (gasp!) female exec of (double GASP) Jewish extraction. The big boss of Budweiser is one Brendan Whitworth. Just saying.

Well, some of this counts if you ask me. Alissa Heinerscheid was once making self-congratulatory videos about her bold, inclusive strategy and now she's the one in the closet. Bud Lite is scrambling up a bunch of counter-commercials trying to (sorry for the phrasing) get the taste of Dylan Mulvaney out of our mouths.

A-B might be afraid to fire Alissa because they know she'd sue for gender bias. The best they can do is let her sit at her desk and pretend to work on something they'll actually use.

ImBev could plausibly they shouldn't have done a polarizing ad campaign that engaged the culture war, give her a few million to sign NDAs, and they'd move on. 100 twitter bots would tweet for a day, and then it would be over.

Instead, I guess it was worth permanently damaging the brand forever to protect this chick.

Tranheuser-Busch needed to take that risk. They'd win easily. When you fire someone who costs you 30% of your sales, that's a straightforward for-cause firing.

Ironically, the risk of a lawsuit (a successful one, anyway) goes up the longer this goes on. They protected her and said it was all okay but then fired her later? That might be a problem.

ABI just missed the boat. Completely. They fucked up so catastrophically for so long that there's now no way to undo the damage and all of this posturing and all of this spin and all of these obvious lies are only going to make things worse. The very best thing they can do right now is just shut the hell up. For like a year. No statements, no leaks, no advertising, no tweeting. Just be quiet. As a brand if not the entire company. Let things stabilize and then try to dig out.

But they just can't do it.

Yeah. But that statement is no longer absolutely true. The major sports leagues are now afraid of their employees. And that will bleed over. The lack of overwhelming pride month memorabilia everywhere shows they are contemplating exactly what has happened. Bud just didn't lose the number one brand in the US, they had sales drops across the board, and other businesses are noticing that the anger from their customers hasn't subsided.

Most large businesses are run on very strong risk-reward management systems. They moved to the left because of that - and some private capital stuff helped that along. That calculus is no longer accurate. They are watching, waiting. If we were smart we would start a coordinated attack against every one of the HRC's top 10 donors. Make that group toxic.

And then force our reps to change the way income from hedge funds/PE groups is calculated and open it up to more taxing. Or they can give up any version of ESG. Their choice. Let's take 25 - 30% of Fink's income and see how he likes it.

300 181 >>> Balance of Terror was a good ST episode

i'm watching old eps on Pluto. I'm only realizing now that i've only seen about ten star trek episodes. I've seen those ten over and over and over, but it's really just those ten. Tribbles, Amok Time, Mirror Mirror, Spectre of the Gun (or whatever the one in the OK Corral is called), city on the edge of forever, gamesters of triskelion, arena, the one with Lincoln, the black/white vs white/black one, a piece of the action... a couple more. but really i only watched the ten I already saw.

2) Fire Alissa Heinerscheid. Not just sorta fire, fire fire. As in "Man did she ever screw up." kinda firing. She sues you? FINE. Let her sue. And fight the lawsuit. At the trial you can show your multibillion $ loss as evidence of a serious screw up. Man up and stop letting lawyers tell you what to do.

3) Make fun of the whole situation with a series of ads. Parodies of boardroom meetings where really stupid marketing decisions are made.

462 Wasn't there a conspiracy some years back that if you drank enough Tranhauser product that you would grow bitch tits from the abnormal levels of estrogen in the beer?

That's what he is saying.
Because he hates Trump so much; Trump is always on his mind.

If you liked that check out Andromeda by Roddenbury's wife.

They continued the weekly theme of "a new hot chick shows up to fall in love with the Captain" and...picked the best looking women in Toronto...

How dare you! Shore Leave was written by an actual SF author: Theodore Sturgeon.
Posted by: Axeman at June 28, 2023

The story goes that Roddenberry went on vacation and left the script in the hands of an inexperienced producer. This guy saw a way, he thought, to bring the episode in under budget -- by emphasizing the fantasy aspects. Trek was supposed to be a *science* fiction show. GR got back, looked at the changes, realized they were in trouble, and spent the week rewriting as they shot the thing.

"Gone from the brand"... but no doubt encouraged to fuck up some other corporate product!

Yes, it wasn't supposed to be a Twilight Zone kind of show where supernatural things happen. If an event seemed like magic on ST, it turned out to be super-advanced technology (Clarke's Law).

It is very good. It is also a rip-off of the WW2 naval film, "The Enemy Below."

481 Tangentially related: I just heard roughly 10K Germans a week have been canceling their membership to the Catholic Church. It appears they're doing it because the membership numbers affect how much tax money is diverted it, and Catholics are disgusted by how same-sex "blessings" and other rainbow garbage is being pushed.

486 If they get the real goods on Biden, as soon as Trump gets into office, taking it to SCOTUS if needed, he goes for a firing squad.

Not joking.

Posted by: Ray Van Dune at June 28, 2023 03:02 PM (OqSlY)

487 Even if she did get fired it would just be a rude to trick those dumb red state hicks. They would publicly pretend she was punished but silently pay her off a couple mil so everyone on their end comes out ahead. Such a move would cost them her multi million hush money though, you say! Except as a marketing move it would be an attempt to goose their stock back some of the tens of billions it went down. Consider it a "goodwill" investment. In reality she would still be made rich and go on to teach a marketing class at Harvard.

488 Latest woke business practice: "We're not going to fire you. We're going to take away your ability to do any work and put you on leave until you quit. Because firing makes us look bad and opens us up to lawsuits."

A die-hard cut-throat capitalist would find such a chicken-sh!t stunt too disgusting to even consider.

Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world forget about it girl
And walk like a man from you
