You would think a huge company like this would’t run the risk of laying off one of these people.
- asddubs 3y agowell, it seems that it was info that coke didn't actually really personally need, and ultimately also not their loss if it was leaked. They probably just thought she was a liability
- seszett 3y agoShe used her position at Coca-Cola to steal other companies information. The headline is a bit sensationalised and the lining formula isn't actually Coca-Cola's "secret formula", it's just a coating company's formula (Akzo Nobel N.V if I understand correctly, but she tried with multiple other suppliers). That's why I found it weird at first, so many companies produce aluminium cans and beverages for aluminium cans that Coca-Cola itself couldn't have been the one holder of some special secret coating formula. But the importance of Coca-Cola did help her get leverage to obtain the coating formula from Akzo Nobel.
