“Corporations across industries are trying to calibrate their messaging to employees and customers as American grapples with protests over racism and police brutality. Executives are fumbling for the right words as world attention lingers on nationwide demonstrations.”-@adage

“Ronald Lauder couldn’t be reached for comment. A spokesperson for Estee Lauder said the organization respects everyone’s right to make their own political decisions and that his views don’t represent that of the company.”-@adage @business

“On Thursday, Estee Lauder told staff it would donate $1 million in support of the black community. In the letter, employees ask for Estee Lauder to increase this to $5 million.”-@adage @business

“Several employees told executives that Ronald Lauder’s involvement with the company was damaging its relationship with the black community and its own black workers, according to emails seen by Bloomberg.”-@adage @business

If only reporters had the courage shown by @EsteeLauder workers and held their Trump-loving execs accountable.

There’d be a lot of top-level positions open that could be filled with experienced and diverse execs who don’t support and/or fawn over treasony, bigoted Putin proxies.
