Campbell's exec is out after alleged rant mocking 'poor' customers, '3D-printed chicken' goes viral
"Campbell's said Wednesday that a vice president who was embroiled in a public firestorm over a lawsuit and secret recording was no longer at the company. The recording appeared to show the now-former executive, Martin Bally, disparaging customers and colleagues and referring to the company's chicken as "3D-printed." "The comments were vulgar, offensive and false, and we apologize for the hurt they have caused," the company said Wednesday. "This behavior does not reflect our values and the culture of our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of language under any circumstances.""
"Garza said he secretly recorded a conversation where Bally - then Campbell's vice president of information technology - insulted the intelligence of "Indians," belittled customers, and blasted the company's products in a profane rant. In a sample quote from the conversation, the person in the recording said Campbell's products were "shit for fucking poor people" and "unhealthy." "Even in a can of soup - I look at it, and look at bioengineered meat," the person said. "I don't want to eat a fucking piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer, do you?""
Martin Bally, a vice president at Campbell's, is no longer at the company after a secretly recorded conversation circulated. The recording allegedly captured Bally disparaging customers and colleagues, insulting the intelligence of "Indians," calling Campbell's products "shit for fucking poor people" and labeling the company's chicken as produced by a 3D printer. Former employee Robert Garza filed a lawsuit in Michigan on November 20, claiming unjust termination after complaining about Bally's conduct and providing the recording to media. Campbell's called the comments vulgar, offensive and false, apologized for the harm, and stated such language will not be tolerated.
