Whole Transparent Foods
(Andrew Winston blog)
-
This Mackey story is a new classic demonstrating how hard it is to hide what you do anymore. Anything you write, say, instant message, or send by carrier pidgeon -- no matter how you encode it or hide behind a pseudonym -- has a very good chance of becoming public knowledge. Mackey is in the middle of the proverbial nightmare, "Don't do anything you wouldn't want splashed on the front page of the paper." And he's lived it twice in [one] week.As the two of you know, I've been slowly building up a case for my very non-original "Whole Foods is a harbinger for gentrification, class and social warfare" microtheory, so I've been following this former-young-1960s-rebel-turned-profit-driven-mercenary CEO --Mackey-- for a while. He's not hard to find; he's been saturating the business media for a while now. I thought this blogger (Winston) had a brilliant take on the situation now facing all contemporary business leaders. It was just perfect. These people are living in glass houses, but by their actions, it's clear that very few realize just how transparent are their corporate experiences. When the truth eventually gets exposed, it all leads to nothing but trouble, shame, and falling stock prices.
