Anheuser-Busch is eliminating jobs “across every corporate function,” a spokesperson said via email, which will result in layoffs “representing less than 2%” of its U.S. workforce. The CPG employs more than 19,000 people nationwide, which means 2% would be about 380 employees.
A report from The Wall Street Journal said an internal restructure eliminated corporate and marketing roles at several offices, including St. Louis, New York and Los Angeles.
The restructure “will simplify and reduce layers” within the CPG, the spokesperson said. Frontline workers — such as brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, and field sales — are not affected.
