They’re facing backlash here too for their recent ketchup ad that looks like a minstrel poster. Looks like they’re on a roll

I didn’t have a problem with it. But I get the outrage. I just wish everything wasn’t so black and white with us. I understand representation is everything, but reality is more truthful than pushing a narrative. If Heinz really produced this ad with racist undertones, then yes, it needs to be removed. But as someone who didn’t have a father growing up cause he was in the military, I felt like it was a representation of those who do just have their 1 parent with them. Whether it’s mom or dad.

Also let me say the ad literally says based on a true story. So imagine how that black family feels with all this outrage saying their family isn’t a true representation of “blackness”.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
