"Campbell's made highly processed food and shit for fucking poor people, Bally reportedly told a former employee, Robert Garza, according to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Garza. In an hour-long rant, broadcast by a Michigan TV station, Bally goes on to say: Who buys our shit? I don't buy Campbell's products barely any more. It's not healthy now that I know what the fuck's in it bioengineered meat. I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer."
"Allegedly referring to Campbell's employees of Indian heritage, Bally said: Fucking Indians don't know a fucking thing Like they couldn't think for their fucking selves. Garza, who was a security analyst at Campbell's, told a local news outlet he recorded Bally when he met him to discuss his salary and felt something was not right. He is now suing the company for unfair dismissal and is alleging that Bally made racist remarks, admitted to being under the influence of drugs at work, and retaliated when Garza tried to make a complaint about him."
"Campbell's which rebranded last year, dropping soup from its name to reflect a move to selling more snack foods apologised for the hurt caused by Bally's comments, which it described as vulgar, offensive and false. In a statement, Campbell's said Bally had been dismissed, adding: This behaviour does not reflect our values and the culture of our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of language under any circumstances."
Martin Bally, vice-president of Campbell's information technology department, was dismissed after being recorded making derogatory remarks about the company's products and employees. The recording captured Bally saying Campbell's made "highly processed food and shit for fucking poor people" and criticizing bioengineered meat and 3D-printed chicken. Bally allegedly made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to drug use at work, according to Robert Garza, who recorded the conversation and later filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. Campbell's reviewed the recording, concluded the voice appeared to be Bally, described the comments as vulgar and offensive, apologised for the hurt, and said the behavior contradicted company values.
