Starbucks, Coca Cola, Netflix Told to Stay Mum on Abortion Rights

Large corporations including Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and Netflix have been reportedly advised to stay silent about abortion rights in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft decision.
Communications company Zeno Group discreetly advised its clients against commenting on the draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, according to an internal memo obtained by independent online newsletter Popular Information from the PR company. The company's client base also includes Salesforce and Hershey's.
The PR advice comes after the Supreme Court appeared to prepare to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a draft of a majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico. The draft suggested that the court was prepared to overturn the landmark decision on abortion rights that has existed for 50 years.
It is unclear whether this email template has been already sent to Zeno's clients and for how long should those companies follow the PR firm's advice.
According to the template, clients were reportedly told that "the media" and others "will look for corporations to take a stand and make their views known."
"Do not take a stance you cannot reverse, especially when the decision is not final. This topic is a textbook '50/50' issue," the email reportedly said, according to the report. "Subjects that divide the country can sometimes be no-win situations for companies because regardless of what they do they will alienate at least 15 to 30 percent of their stakeholders... Do not assume that all of your employees, customers or investors share your view."
According to the report in Popular Information, a Zeno executive reportedly sent an email to staff that includes "a template email to share with client contacts" concerning the leaked Supreme Court draft.
Wonder how much of this has to do with Ron sticking it to the child predators at Disney.

Perhaps they are learning it’s not good to piss off 1/2 of your consumers.

Abortion riots?
Did I miss them?
Or are they still in the planning stage?

Your boy “Big Dick Ron”. Probably not.l much. But I do see what you’re doing there and it’s weak. Yep, even with the “child predators” lure scent.

Starbucks would have a plan b latte if they could

Why would those companies make a comment. It's not their place to have an opinion

Corporations paying a company to tell them to engage in common sense is amazing.

Yes, if not more than half, especially since the left has gone to the extreme with wanting abortion right up until birth.

These companies shouldn’t take a position. They are politicians, they sell a product.

Corporations need to stay quiet on every political issue.

Kinda like when a university hires a national search company to find them a new president for the school and nine times out of ten the school ends up hiring an alumnus of the school anyway. Good money spent for nothing.

Can you try again? Perhaps get someone smarter than a doorknob to help you convey your thoughts into something legible.

Kinda ironic, no? Planned abortion riots.
There's a joke there, somewhere.

Well, if my suspicions were accurate then you’d know exactly what I was referencing. But it looks like I completely missed the target, given all the spaz in your response. So for being wrong about my initial suspicion, I apologize. The suspicion was that you were picking a Trump/Desantis slapfight on the board, a rather common occurrence from some folks.

In private meetings and coaching sessions over the past few weeks, top business leaders have been asking a version of the same question: How can we avoid becoming the next Walt Disney Co.?
quote:Tell those vocal employees to STFU or fire them. They don’t run the fricking company, you do. A business’ purpose is to make money, not be involved in politics and social issues. Do that shite on your own time.
At many companies, vocal employees have in recent years pushed bosses to take public stands on social and political issues.
