Coca-Cola theives

http://www.NaturalNews.com/022092.html

This source reports about three coca-cola employee's trying to steal and than sell Coca-Cola's trade secrets to their rival beverage co mpany, Pepsi. I'm goin to go ahead and say this article helps my argument against Coke. Obviously they do not have very loyal employees or they wouldn't be trying to sell their own company's secrets. This shows the values and morals of the company. The article goes on to state that these three coke employees had been trying to make a deal with Pepsi. "Dimson allegedly gave FBI agents 14 pages worth of secret Coca-Cola documents, which had been prominently marked as "classified" in exchange for $5,000 and an agreement that PepsiCo would purchase a confidential sample of an upcoming Coke product for another $75,000" (Gutierrez) The Pepsi company soon after alerted the FBI of these events and the FBI went into action. The FBI set up spies in the Pepsi company for when the coca-cola employees would contact them again. Aparently the unfaithful coke employees expected to obtain $1.5 million. Before being arrested by the FBI, they did however recieve $35,000. Ibrahim Dimson, 31, and Joya Williams, 42 were both sentenced from 5-8 years in prison while the third employee, Edmund Duhaney, 43, still waits to see what the final verdict for his outcome will be. All three of these employees should definitely be charged and punished for their crime. I thought this source to be interesting because this isn't necesarilly about something the Coka-Cola Company has done wrong or bad. It is about their employees, which obviously aren't the most loyal to their employer. However, this still ends up reflecting badly on Coke because they are not able to keep their employees' mouths shut. What does this say about the company? A company's employees are the base of the company. When the base falls, the company will fall. Coca-Cola is bound to fall sooner or later if they are still employing people like these three theives.
