Goodyear responds to zero-tolerance policy slide labeled by an employee as discriminatory.

Just more stupid on steroids. Personally I think their tires suck, so I wouldn't be sending them any business anyway.

I think the only time someone should use the word 'inclusive' is when describing vacation packages.

This shit is a disease. Pod People out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

You see Fred and say "Hey, Fred!" You turn around, and Fred's like...

As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”

Goodyear: So yeah, that slide is righteous, bro, you got a problem widdat?

"Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace........"

And we do that by excluding half of the population.

Well, I'm done with them. No more Duratracs for my trucks. Plenty of other good "unwoke" tire manufacturers out there. I've been happy with Cooper in the past.

Judging by their social media accounts the result is exactly as you would expect. People keep posting up the pic of that presentation followed by hundreds of angry reactions and comments.

Way to go Good Year ya chuckle heads.

My friend screen prints political t shirts. I’m hoping I can get him to make me one with this logo and a “get work go broke” caption underneath.

You would think with so many options out there, a business wouldn’t go about alienating customers but here you go.

What a bunch of idiots.

My 2011 Toyota Venza FWD came stock with Good-Bye Eagle R/S's. I know I'm going to need to replace them very soon. What is the consensus on replacing with Pirelli or Michelin? I have Michelin's on my Corolla and like them. Never had Pirelli's on anything... TIA!

Those Peckerheads!

What do you do with 365 used condoms? Retread into a tire and call it a Good Year.

Screw Goodyear. I recently bought Michelin’s for my Camry. My truck needs tires, I will NOT buy Goodyear’s.
.

Will be looking at Bridgestone a for the new-to-me Tahoe to replace the Goodyear Wranglers that are on it

Thanks for posting this. I'm done with Goodyear.

I'm a satisfied Pirelli customer. Keep putting Scorpion Verdes (whatever the current version is; this time it is SV Plus II or something) on my JGC; great wear, phenomenal traction, low noise. No clue what their woke quotient is, maybe I should look.

That was pretty disgusting and typical of the hypocrisy of the left.
THAT indoctrination is what is killing us all.

What a bunch of crap. Any organization that says blm is acceptable doesn't need my business.
I need new tires for my truck. Came with Good Years new. Probably gonna go with NITTO. The Good Years sucked anyway.

Excellent. Go woke, get broke.

BLM the socialist terrorist organization = Good.

Backing the police = Bad

Equality = Bad

I'm in need of tires for my jeep, guess this news makes the list smaller. I'm going with Cooper or General instead.

Pirelli's purchased by the chinese. look elsewhere.

I suspect this has nothing to do with getting "woke," but more about appeasement.

Thing is: The half of the population they're excluding is the half that is more inclined to peacefully abide by the rules and is inclined to be, if not respectful, at least tolerant of others' views. The half they're appeasing is the half that gets violent and destructive when they don't get their way or when presented with views that don't agree with theirs.

I guess they figured they could get away with appeasing the latter while screwing the former.

This was never meant to be seen or known by customers. This is an employee policy. One would think that, in this day and age, they'd know it would get out, though.

They would have been far better-off simply banning all clothing with a political message.
