Except that we are seeing far less of a reaction to Bob Iger or Jack Welch being involved with the exact same thing. What portion of people #DeletingUber are switching away from Pepsi products? Has the media failed to cover substantial new protest of JP Morgan?
- CalChris 10y agoJack Welch is retired. So there's no consumer pressure that can be brought to bear on him. Bob Iger is the chairman of the Walt Disney Company. He hasn't resigned from the panel but after consumer pressure he's refusing to attend: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bob-iger-wont-attend-trump-white-house-meeting-971437 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bob-iger-wont-attend-t...
- dllthomas 10y agoIger has a schedule conflict. That's not remotely the same thing as "refusing to attend". Even if he "has a schedule conflict", that's still not the same thing.
- CalChris 10y agoFine. You get half a point for pointing out that this has been corrected as a schedule conflict. And I get half a point for pointing out that Welch is retired. Returning to your main point, consumer pressure is being brought to bear. Even Musk has acknowledged this while saying he wants (for now) to engage. BTW, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom dumped Ivanka.
- dllthomas 10y agoMy main point was that Kalanick seems to be targeted substantially because many people dislike him anyway. But if many people dislike him anyway, he's less of a problem than the others on the committee. A part of it may well just be a low-hanging fruit thing.
