Red Bull axes directors who pushed for vocal support of Black Lives Matter organization
Austrian-based beverage company Red Bull has fired two high-level North American executives after they pressed for vocal corporate support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Stefan Kozak, who was Red Bull's chief executive in North America, and Amy Taylor, president and chief marketing officer in North America, both have left the company, the Wall Street Journal reports. Red Bull did not give a reason for the departures of the two executives, but sources knowledgeable about the matter say Taylor had pushed in the past month for the company to intensify messaging focused on racial justice.
Some Red Bull employees in the United States reportedly complained that the company was not acting in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Employees also took issue with a slide included in a company presentation in February, saying it was racist, and Taylor and Kozak were reportedly pushing the company to focus more on diversity in hiring and other practices. Florian Klaass, an executive who created the slide in question, also will be leaving the company. "We reject racism in every form, we always have, and we always will," Red Bull's board of directors told the Wall Street Journal in a statement. "Red Bull has always put people and their dreams and accomplishments at its core and values the contribution of each and every person - no matter who they are. We want everyone who feels this way to be welcome in Red Bull." An opinion piece by Revolver magazine praised Red Bull's action against Taylor and Kozak as exemplifying "the way forward for all who want to prevent a total Marxist-style takeover of business and government in America."

Red Bull Fires "Woke" Diversity Directors Who Tried To Push For BLM Support
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/red-bull-fires-woke-diversity-directors-who-tried-push-blm-support
Red Bull has fired two 'diversity directors' who tried to force the company into virtue signaling about Black Lives Matter while also dissolving several 'culture teams' who were pressuring Red Bull to take a more aggressive 'woke' political stance.
Stefan Kozak, its North America chief executive, and Amy Taylor, its North America president and chief marketing officer, have both left the Austrian drinks company after they tried to create a schism within the business about its supposed "inaction on the Black Lives Matter movement."
According to the Wall Street Journal, "Ms. Taylor had been working on diversity and inclusion efforts within the company with Mr. Kozak's support for several years but was met with opposition when she began advocating for Red Bull to be more overt in its support of racial justice in the last month, according to people familiar with the matter."
Citing insiders, the Business Insider reports that the firings were a retaliation against efforts by Kozak and Taylor to create internal tension around "diversity issues" and pressure the company to make more diversity hires.
Red Bull also "cut or dissolved entertainment and culture teams in Canada, the UK, and Austria and canceled most of its major cultural events." According to employees, these "culture teams" were "the most vocal about racial justice matters" and were therefore fired as a punishment for trying to force Red Bull into a political direction it didn't want to take.

Red Bull just reminded their 'wokest' employees who calls the shots in a total massacre of "social justice warrior" employees.
Not only were the top two North American executives fired, but so were entire marketing teams and "culture" teams that were dedicated to pushing the lie of systemic racism.
Red Bull has just shown the way forward for all who want to prevent a total Marxist-style takeover of business and government in America. There is no appeasing these people, the only way forward is to fire them as quickly as possible, and with no mercy. Err on the side of firing everyone, if need be.
What this country needs, at every level of society, academia, and government, is a total and complete purge of 'woke' revolutionaries, before the blood starts running in the streets.
The Wall Street Journal has more:
The maker of Red Bull energy drinks has replaced its top U.S. executives amid internal tensions over the closely held company's response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Red Bull GmbH, the Austrian company that makes the drink, said Stefan Kozak, its North America chief executive, and Amy Taylor, its North America president and chief marketing officer, have left the company. It named other executives to temporarily fill the roles.
Red Bull didn't give a reason for the changes, which were announced in an internal memo Monday.
Ms. Taylor had been working on diversity and inclusion efforts within the company with Mr. Kozak's support for several years but was met with opposition when she began advocating for Red Bull to be more overt in its support of racial justice in the last month, according to people familiar with the matter.

Red Bull CEO Dietrich Mateschitz and fired executive Amy Taylor.
Red Bull just reminded their 'wokest' employees who calls the shots in a total massacre of "social justice warrior" employees.
Not only were the top two North American executives fired, but so were entire marketing teams and "culture" teams that were dedicated to pushing the lie of systemic racism.

According to Business Insider, these were "acts of retaliation." And rightly so. If you find yourself in this position, get an army of lawyers and find out the quickest legal route to excising the cancer of "social justice warriors" in your company.
Several insiders close to the situation said it was widely believed that Kozak and Taylor were fired by Austrian leadership over the leak and internal tension over diversity issues. Two employees said Taylor had been working on a project to increase Black representation at Red Bull but that the leadership wasn't interested. [Business Insider]
Have you ever heard of the phrase, "get woke, go broke?" It turns out there is a simple way to prevent this, and it involves firing people indiscriminately, until the rest of the employees realize that the only way they are going to be able to keep their jobs is by being professional, and keeping their kook politics out of the workplace. Pour encourager les autres.
Along with firing the executives, Red Bull cut or dissolved entertainment and culture teams in Canada, the UK, and Austria and canceled most of its major cultural events, including its annual Red Bull Music Festival and Red Bull Presents.
...
Two employees said global CEO Dietrich Mateschitz told staff earlier this year that there wouldn't be any layoffs in 2020.
Two others who work in marketing, however, said management told them that between 20 and 50 people were laid off or told that they would have to choose between new jobs and exit packages.
Another employee said the culture teams were seen as the most vocal about racial justice matters and that US staffers saw the restructuring as a form of punishment. [Business Insider]
You absolutely love to see it.
It turns out that the CEO of Red Bull is a pretty cool guy. From Daily Mail:
Red Bull's billionaire CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is a Donald Trump admirer who has spoken out against 'political correctness'.
The 76-year-old tycoon also owns a media firm which has been criticized for giving a platform to far-right activists in his native Austria.
