Jen,

The fact that you were the only C-level exec who sent her kids to public school says a lot about the elitism and hypocrisy that infected Levi’s culture along with #comply. But even if you had sent your kids to a fancy private school, I still think you would have advocated for the public school kids getting in-person teaching. Your unforgivable sin was making the other execs feel uncomfortable about their hypocrisy. Your stance on ineffective loose fitting facemasks and an insufficiently tested mRNA injectable immunostimulant contra the foolish public health authorities was all they needed to get you out and themselves back to their self-satisfied happy place. Please keep using your voice.

Yes I would have still advocated for opening public schools even if my kids attended private. Because it would have been the right and just thing to do. It was never about MY kids. It was about the inequality of a policy that allowed wealthy children to attend in-person private school while disadvantaged kids were relegated to zoom school (i.e. no school.)

There are no toddlers working at Levi’s.

I would disagree with this statement :)

You simply cannot overstate the total creepiness of this communication. What a bunch of bootlicking corporate turds.

The next question for the corporate communications person who posed those eerie set of questions should be, "Are you willing to come out of your echo chamber and breath some oxygen before you look at my answers to your questions?" But all that would get us is a "ad hominem!!!" rejoinder. That's one, broken little mind. Truth and facts really are not the same anymore, are they?

We really are in a fight for civilization.

If good people don't stand up, we will lose out say of life.

It is becoming easier to see who are one's friends and who are one's enemies. It is sometimes surprising who are the enemies. It is nice to find the friends -- they are becoming so easy to see!

Thank you.

In this list of questions there is not one that addresses the well-being of children. That is so telling of the society we live in, adult-centric as it is. Thank you for sticking to your guns (figuratively, obviously).

Sounds more like the nxivm cult than a corporation. Did they brand you too?

a short bit of free speech that ex-wives of cross-dressing men aren't supposed to say:

1) Shut up and sell me jeans and spare me your sparkling empty platitudes and paranoid propaganda.

2) Gotta love the false dichotomies and equivalences and appeals to authority. It's a logical fallacy train wreck. "You don't want to wear a mask? Where's your degree in ACME Mask Tech, eh? Or 'You're against mask mandates? What, you think murder is an option?"

3) It's an immature cult filled with fearful and ignorant people wallowing in faux-righteous pseudoscientific rituals and superstition. They lack inner core principles and values and so latch on to symbols of delusions masking as 'science'. Virtual signalling is a form of mental illness in my view.

4) Always bought Levi's as they fit me right. May have to rethink all this. The civil order is being reorganized into systems where people will choose to live among others who share their ethics, values and morals.

Are you with us or are you with them?

Easy decision.

Not sure how the union stuff got roped in. I disagree there but applaud you for sacrificing your job.

My favorite part:

. . . At Levi’s, our most celebrated advertising campaign urged people to “use your voice.” I used mine. The company didn’t like it because, apparently, “use your voice” meant - use it, but only if you say what we want you to say.
