Texas Fried Chicken. Toe lickin good.

Inconsequential.
KFC has been known only by initials for 2 decades.
Colonel Sanders is no longer recognized as the founder, a real person, but is a character, a mascot. So much so, that comedians from norm MacDonald, to Jim Gaffigan, to Wanda Sykes have all played the part.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has evolved into an idea.

It won’t make a lick of difference

why do you think it’s a dumb branding decision? do people care where a corporate office is located?

People do care, little.
If the company is a point of local pride for a people group who happens to take pride in where they are from, it can be seen as selling out.

When Whataburger, a proudly Texas Family owned company was bought by a Chicago based holdings company for the purposes of scaling up their footprint, many Texans I knew were outraged.
But people forget. All it took was the release of a Dr Pepper milkshake (another point of Texas pride - Keurig who?), and all was forgiven

They’ve gone by KFC for so long, I think it has zero impact. Plus, the name of a company and the location of headquarters are separate and distinct enough, that is also doesn’t matter. IMO

The original KFC was in Salt Lake City and you can buy at t shirt there.

It's a good move for them. They can recruit/retain more talent in DFW than they can in Louisville. There are many other QSR and Fast Casual HQ's in DFW so plenty of options for talent. It also reunites them with sister company (Pizza Hut). Lastly, they already have a HQ-Like presence in Plano so it brings everyone together under one roof.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
