goodbar says the pic is not from their corporate office.
They also do not say it is not theirs, nor do they say where it was from and what it was used gor.
Note they did NOT say it was a Photoshop hoax!

Translation: we outsourced it to a third-party training company and titled the training ‘white guilt’ so ‘diversity’ wasn’t in the title so we could deny everything!!

They threw in that line to mislead everyone. Their own spokesperson confirmed that the slide represented their policy, and it has their corporate logo on it, and it was shown in their offices. Their Twitter statement seems like a statement drafted by their legal team. While it may well be true that it wasn't "created or distributed" by "Goodyear corporate" it was clearly created and distributed by somebody paid by Goodyear, either an employee or a contractor, who was working at Goodyear's direction, in a Goodyear facility. So a less misleading statement by Goodyear might be "we didn't create it here at the corporate offices, instead we paid a contractor across the street to do it for us since we don't normally make our own slides, and then the training people we have on our payroll showed it to our employees."

This was not shown at Corporate...but rather down at the factory level.
I think the board is asking around right now and trying to figure out who started this mess, and it probably leads back to someone in corporate HR.
Once they identify the person...that’s probably the end of their employment with the company, and then some recovery group will be hired to say it was a mistake on one employees part to make the statement. I’d expect this to be wrapped up by next week.
