Levi's

Levi’s president quit and walked away from $1 million in severance so she could ‘be free’ to speak out against school closures. Levi’s brand president Jennifer Sey has quit, and she says it’s because the denim company tried to silence her after she publicly spoke out against school closures during the COVID pandemic. She was offered a million dollar severance if she would sign a nondisclosure agreement but she refused so she could say why she left. Companies used to be concerned about product quality, employee benefits and stockholder equity but in today's would politics has entered the fray. Some people don't like the phrase cancel culture but this is an example of what it looks like. Her opinion on whether schools should close has nothing to do with her ability to do her job which she had for 20 years working her way up the ladder.
