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.”

WHEN WILL YOU DEAL WITH YOUR OWN HUSBAND?

A Beloved sister was sharing with me how a woman who makes her hair for her was reported to moved out of her husband's house for some months and she came back later. She told this sister that, she does not deal with her husband immediately the man offends her. She said, if the husband offends her today, she might not do or say anything about the offense now until June or August. That's when she will now deal with the husband. She added that, she has several ways of dealing with the husband. The painful part of it is that, the husband won't be able to understand the rationale behind the wickedness and maltreatment the wife is melting out to him. It is after much asking, that, the wife will now say, it was because of so so so and so thing you said to me that day 3 months ago, that I am doing this thing I am doing now to teach you lessons and deal with you. The husband would say, 'why can't you bring it up when it happened and let me apologize or tell you the...
