Indra Nooyi

I did it.

And PepsiCo had a lot of them.

PepsiCo didn't have too many of these bragging people.

So I was blessed to run a company where the culture was such that some people might have tried to be a bit more out there to take credit, but there were very few people who were braggers, really.

Even Amazon has no braggers.

Philips, the other company I sit on the board of, the MedTech company from the Netherlands, not at all.

Nobody brags.

Everybody's talking about what can we do together to move the company forward.

So I think I'm just lucky to be in these sorts of companies.

I don't even know what it is to work from home only.

To me, if you don't come to work, interact with other people, understand the culture of the company, you know, see people in the corridor, toss around ideas, pop your head into a meeting and say, hey, I see you guys are working on this.

Can I help?

If you don't have that sort of human interaction, I don't even know what it is to work in a corporation as opposed to doing a job from home, doing an assignment from home, if you want to call it that.

So I grew up at a time when everybody came to work and I loved it.

So as we went through COVID and post-COVID, I'm struggling to see how I would have run the company without people coming to work.

I'm struggling to see how I would have developed people without seeing them.

Now, let me come to the other side.

I also see the benefit of people who choose to work from home because they can now juggle more responsibilities working from home.

So I understand that too.

However, I'm also of the belief, Shane, that if you choose to work from home, male or female, I don't care.
