the OFFICE TOWER: Can you say "YOU'RE FIRED!" (*in my Donald Trump*)

Wow talk about a bad day. Let's set the background for this story. An executive assistant is swamped with work in preparation for the upcoming quarterly meeting. Along comes a document that states that Pepsi has to dispute the allegations being brought against them. Instead of pausing for a moment to forward the letter to the appropriate party, this legal executive assistance pushes the document to the side. She finally gives the appropriate department the legal document but it was days after they were to write a formal dispute; needless to say no one rebutted the claim.

Apathy is not the best policy when dealing with legal matters. As a result, Pepsi is levied with a default settle of a whopping $1.26 BILLION DOLLARS in favor of the plaintiffs. Now the plaintiffs are claiming that Pepsi stole their idea for filtered bottle water back in 1981 and developed Aquafina a few years later with the information...HMMMM sounds quite suspacious to me lol (*i know its misspelled lol*).

The legal think tank for Pepsi has filed several motions disputing the settlement and a hearing has been set for Nov 6, 2009. Hopefully the firm will take this more seriously this time around. In the near term, we have 2 individuals who on paper are wealthy beyond their years, but who knows if it will even stand.

No details have been released regarding the employee, but if she was fired, I’m sure there were grounds for termination lol
