Let’s not be too quick to condemn those Budweiser employees. Maybe they went to the French Riviera to look for real women.

The California marketing firm behind Bud Light’s disastrous tie-up with Dylan Mulvaney fired more than a dozen employees – days after top brass boasted about a lavish junket to an award ceremony on the French Riviera, The Post has learned.
San Mateo-based Captiv8 — which The Post exclusively identified as the ad agency behind Anheuser-Busch’s short-lived partnership with the trans influencer — flew executives and guests on a private jet to the annual Cannes-Lions festival in June.
Captiv8 booked the private charter on a boutique French airline called La Compagnie which features 76 lay-flat seats and a “bespoke plane experience,” according to a press release about the trip.
Upon returning from the marketing industry’s Oscars-like event, CEO Krishna Subramanian offered a recap of their trip during a company-wide Zoom meeting on July 3, multiple sources told The Post.
The presentation allegedly included photos of the giddy travelers aboard the luxury jet, as well as the yachts, pool parties and villas they visited in the south of France.
Two days later, however, the “tone-deaf” Subramanian handed out pink slips to 13 workers, about 5% of Captiv8’s more than 200 employees, a Captiv8 employee told The Post.
“They said they were investing in the future of the company and building relationships,” one current worker who survived the purge told The Post, adding, “Maybe they could have saved jobs instead of blowing all of this money” in Cannes.
After the layoffs, Subramanian told remaining staffers on another company-wide Zoom call that the ad agency was “examining budgets” and “evaluating finances,” according to sources.

Freaking liberals.
The surest sign a company doesnt care about you is that it signed up to be part of DEI.
What makes these corporate morons think that if they get into social issues that they will grow their companies?
Harvard Business School must be a joke nowadays..........................
“Harvard Business School must be a joke nowadays..........................”
One of the best things that could happen to America would be if the Harvard Schools of Business and Law were burned to the ground, the land sown with salt, and all the staff driven into the howling wilderness with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
and you wonder about the people who came up with the Ad.
So some beer hating snobs ruin Bud Light, then got to France to drink wine and whine about the mess they created........ more Whine Libs?
Just not Amchitka where the AEC did a 10 MT underground test. Surely not there? That would be savage.
More rich men north of Richmond
That’s not a French Riviera photo. I’ve been there quite a few times and the women don’t wear bras.
Heck, half the time they don’t wear tops, even off the beach.
My first time there I took the public bus from Nice to Monaco and women of all ages were topless on the bus. (And some of them could have tucked them in their waistbands.)
...........More rich men north of Richmond..........
In this case, rich men north of Redondo............
Three young women on the beach next to me in Nice asked me to take their photo topless.(with their phone). They were college girls from the University of Maryland!
By the way, the beaches in Nice are all rocks and you can’t lay down without a mat. Monaco and Cannes are sand.
It wasn’t just one person at AH that approved this. Companies have many people who need to approve marketing their product.
As we used to say in the Marines:
S#!T rolls downhill................
Outside Fairbanks Alaska. Maybe to Kamchatka
