Sam’s Club CEO Rosalind Brewer has received backlash after acknowledging corporate America’s very real struggle with diversity.
The part of the interview that has been slammed by the media was when Brewer shared a story about a meeting with a supplier — a meeting that exemplified the inequality at the top.
“Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian male. That was interesting,” Brewer said. “I decided not to talk about it directly with his folks in the room because there were actually no females levels down, so I’m going to place a call to [the head of the supplier].”
