If the report is accurate, then it isn't the people brewing the beer or working in the warehouses getting laid off. It's corporate and marketing....which is the section that led to this debacle in the first place. If anyone is going to be laid off, presumably it should come from that group. They are the ones that fricked up.

Marketing developed a stupid marketing campaign. One that was presumably approved by corporate. Then, when there was backlash to the campaign, marketing/corporate defended it by essentially saying the customers were too stupid and unrefined, which is why they were marketing to a more "refined" group of potential customers.

Sounds like AB identified the source of the mess and is taking steps to fix the problem.

Coors and Miller are probably hiring. They seem to be doing great.

Is Brenden Whitworth going to lose his job as well?

The earnings they are getting ready to release must be a disaster.

I've been known to buy the dip but these earnings are going to be a train wreck. Will be a big dip i'm expecting. Hopefully not many more lose their jobs for a stupid decision by a few.

The only important thing is hate towards individuals that don’t think and/or look like them . 400,000 Americans losing their jobs would have been an acceptable outcome.

The layoffs won’t impact front-line workers such as brewery and warehouse staff, the company told The Journal.

The restructuring, the outlet reported, will eliminate corporate and marketing roles at major US offices, including in St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles.


perfect.

Exactly. At what point does it take to lose his job?

But I heard sales decline was greatly exaggerated.

Go figure. LOL

Some boycott!!... AB is reeling for this fiasco, while Modelo becomes the #1 Beer in the US. Guess what people!? they are both owned by In Bev, so the joke's on us

Sucks for the workers. Hopefully they learned that woke isn’t the way to go.



I bet there are open positions at Modelo and Miller Coors they can fill

She's the scapegoat/fall person for sure. Why has the clueless tone deaf CEO not resigned yet?

I can't imagine what it would be like to be one of those 400 if Whitworth and Heinerseid still had jobs.

Look it up. A-B InBev is the owner and the largest beer company in the world. Unless you want to give up major beer brands and drink only microbrew products, you are drinking from the same owners. Have a Modelo! We will show them! 400 jobs cut from making Bud Light and 1000 picked up to make Modelo. This is silly. The Bud Light campaign was dumb, but the boycott is equally dumb if you expect to punish A-B, which has been owned by InBev since 2008
