🍲👀 Campbell’s Exec FIRED After Calling Company’s Food “For Poor People” — Here’s What Happened…. Y’all… this one is WILD. A Campbell’s Soup executive has officially been fired after being recorded in a meeting saying he doesn’t buy “Campbell’s products anymore” and even calling the company’s food “for poor people.” 😳 The exec — identified as Martin Bally, VP of IT — reportedly made the comments during a November 2024 meeting. The recording made its way up the chain… and you already know, it did NOT end well for him. Many folks online are calling the comments disrespectful, tone-deaf, and unnecessary — especially when so many families rely on affordable pantry staples right now. I always say: the same communities some people look down on are the ones keeping these companies going. What do y’all think about comments like this being made in positions of power? — TatianaJ ✨ #TatianaJ #NewsBreak #CampbellsSoup #ViralNews #CorporateAccountability #FoodIndustry #CommunityMatters #BreakingNews #VoiceOfThePeople
