Pepsi CEO: 'My employees were all crying' after Trump won

On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump added three more high-profile CEOs — Pepsi ( PEP) CEO Indra Nooyi, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Tesla (TSLA ) CEO Elon Musk — to his Strategic and Policy Forum.
The forum is meant for members to share their expertise from the private sector on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation and productivity.
“My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland,” Trump said in a statement.
With Pepsi’s Nooyi on board, expect there to be plenty of discussion about some serious issues.
Just two days after the election, Nooyi, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke at the
Dealbook Conference.
“Is there a box of tissues here?” Nooyi responded when asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin for her reaction to the election results. “I’ll tell you, first of all, I want to congratulate President Donald Trump. Because the election is over, I think, we should mourn for those of us who supported the other side, but we have to come together and life has to go on.”
She added that she had to answer a lot of questions from both her employees.
“They were all in mourning. My employees were all crying. The question that they are asking, especially those who are not white — ‘Are we safe?’ Women are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ LGBT people are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ I never thought I would have to answer those questions.”
She continued: “So, I think that the first thing that we have to do is to assure everyone living in the United States will be safe. Nothing has changed because of this election. What we heard was election talk and we will all come together and unify as a country. So, the process of democracy happened. We just have to let life go on.”

MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MARRIAGE

Uncle Etuk grinned when he saw his daughter, Idara and the husband Ime walked into the house. The old man, was on one of his rare visits to his daughter and in-law. He had to succumb after several pleas from his in-law to move from the confines of Mkpat Enin to Uyo to spend the Easter Holidays. This his in-law believed he needed to comfort the old man from loneliness after his wife’s demise three months ago. After dinner that evening, he whispered to his son in law that if they don’t mind, he would love to have a quick word with the couple after the children have gone to bed. By 9pm, the couple was back to the dinner table to hear what the old man had to say. He started by asking them a simple question “What is the most important thing in your life Idara? She replied, “Daddy, it is the kids, they mean everything to me”. He then turned and asked Ime, the son in law the same question, he also beaming with pride said: "it is the kids of course; they are the reason why ...

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

When a woman marries a man because of money and physical beauty and a man marries a woman because of beauty, forgotten that Is better with Idea woman and man and have peace at home . Although handsome men and beautiful ladies is very good, but let it not be because of the outside beauty alone but inside beauty as well because that is what made you who u really are, because someone like me I always cherish beautiful children with good character, God made men and women physically beautiful so that men will appreciate his hand work and give glory to him, the beauty God gave us is not what makes us wrong man and woman, it is our decisions, our attitudes, our lifestyles, our believes, if a man decide to follow the ways of God and fear him God will beautify him and distinguish him from others and if a woman decided to use her beauty, her body to serve God, God will make her a virtuous woman blessed among others, the problems many women have is that they don't know the blessedness of b...

YOUR WIFE IS YOUR LIFE PARTNER NOT LIFE SERVANT

I cringed today when a man said if his wife does something he ‘commands’ her not to do, he'd send her out of his house back to her parents; that it's very wrong for a woman to disobey her husband no matter what. Well, I couldn't hold my chill, I opposed him passionately and he resorted to calling me a kid; “You won't understand till you get married.” That's always how they sound. Very manipulative old folks. Please single guys, when you wanna get married, just remind yourself that the woman you're getting married to will be your life partner, not your servant. You ain't doing her a favor by getting married to her, so don't ever feel that sending her back to her parents means she'll die or lose her womanhood. Your wife is not your errand girl, she's like a colleague and she's important like you in that marriage, so you don't command her to do things, you don't just give orders, No! Both of you are to reach a stand...

THINGS THAT TURN ON WOMEN

For many women, their turn-on aren’t just about a man’s looks, independence and sense of humor there are some unpredictable things that turn them on as well. So what are some of those other qualities that women find so attractive? Find out here. 1. The Color Red: - Men garbed in red are proven to attract more attention from women because the color is an attention getter. The color red is also viewed as a dominant color that indicates power and masculinity, and prolonged viewing of the color causes the female body to increase adrenaline secretion and raise blood pressure. 2. Sweat And Body Odor: - Contrary to popular belief, not all women like the smell of a guy covered in cologne. Some women like the natural smell of a man, just the way he is. Studies show that Androstadienone, a chemical compound found in male sweat, increases blood pressure, boosts hormone levels and raises the rate of breathing in women (Don’t abandon showers though!) 3. A Deep Voice: - ...

MARITAL EXPECTANCY OF MEN

One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet , one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be. These different expectations are rarely communicated out loud because most newlyweds naively believe that they are so in sync with their spouse that the unspoken expectations are exactly the same. This is never the case. Two different individuals with two different personalities coming from two diff...
