Sounds like one of those clickbait profiles from comment sections “make XYZ/week working from home!”
SOOOOOoooooo many more ways to earn a very good living in the world than working piles of hours making other people comfortable. All it takes is some risk tolerance and a good dose of not really caring if it all comes to a screeching halt because you have been there and done that and survived every time...
I grew up among building tradesmen and hustlers....I saw early in life that there was a bunch of ways to earn money without slaving away in a job that pays just enough to make your nut if you're lucky. I went into a trade knowing that I would be laid off on the regular and it did not disappoint...had it not been for being laid off regularly I would have been perfectly content working that trade...but it did not afford me the opportunities to do what I wanted when I wanted...so I made a change...but it was the wrong change. Money was great, hours were horrendous and the stress was unbearable...so I made another change. This one required lots of hours at times but also allowed me the most freedom ever...and the money was good....but eventually the grind got OLD. I sold that situation for a nice chunk of change and moved on to my current gig....no employees, I am financially able to pick the clients I want to work with and the projects I want to work on and everyone understands, including the wife, that when I decide to go duck hunting or fishing I am going duck hunting or fishing. When you reach a point in life where you realize time is running out and you are never going to become wealthy but you do possess some skills that are marketable and you have some ability to sell those skills you realize time is what is important in life....money in and of itself simply to have more and more shite is no way to live life unless you are capable of making a serious stack in a relatively short period of time...I wouldn't know anything about that.
Being comfortable and adverse to risk is a cancer worse than anything that can be diagnosed by a health professional....and unfortunately almost all humans on earth suffer from it....

One of Good Year’s fortes was it’s police tires . You couldn’t screw up much worse than this even if you tried lol.
Yep and the pop-up on that website aimed at police departments doubles down on their support of "racial justice and equity issues" while banning all other workplace expressions. They still don't get it.
And they still try to claim they're not anti-police and support law enforcement even though they have "zero tolerance" for Blue Lives Matter.

My family has been Goodyear all my life. My Daughters needs a set of tires in about 3-5 k, it WILL NOT be Goodyear!

Goodyear will regret this greatly.

If the national police federations and govt decided to do business with another company, how much rev would GY lose?
Would have to be tens to hundreds of millions a year huh?

They literally issue a statement that is just a long way of saying....
We don't know who made the visual
but
Let us restate that the visual is correct

But I posted a thread yesterday of an interview they gave defending this is basically saying they did it... then trump tweeted and we get to this.
They realized they fd up and now try to blame a rogue HR group

That letter has a familiar style.
Looks like Kevin Warren is doing some moonlighting for Goodyear.

While the visual is bad, the visual isn't the problem. They're trying to tap dance

Agree, but no clue why the initially said “yeah we did it”... I couldn’t believe they were stupid enough not to say it was a rogue HR person from the start

If I were running a similar organization, one of the first things I'd do is hire someone on my team who was basically my ideological opposite. Why? Because EVERY team needs SOMEONE in the room who will at least ask, "you sure you wanna do that" when shite comes up.
They said "yeah we did it" because literally no one in the room deciding how to respond even CONSIDERED that it wasn't OBVIOUSLY a good thing. Hence, they could just assume everyone who didn't think it was a good thing must be basically KKK.
You need that guy you generally like and trust on your team that will still say, "um, boss, has XYZ occurred to you....?"

That statement doesn't really do much to mitigate the damage.
We should have a much easier time measuring the financial impact to Goodyear than with previous examples. They are public and they have relatively little goodwill, most of it in EMEA, so it shouldn't be another Gillette.

A lot of police cars have Goodyear tires.
If you cut back on the police you cut back on units on the road, and you reduce tire sales.
How many BLM supporters buy tires versus suburban non BLM supporters?
If they did not feel the heat from their service center franchisee then they would not care anyway. Having them come out shows they pissed off their independent retailers who push their products.
