Bud Light maker to lay off hundreds of US corporate staff after sales slump

I predict that Bud will repackage budlite into patriotic flag adorned maga containers and sell more than ever.

Easy fix....

Even thinking about budlite makes me gag.

No matter what the radical left is trying the game can't be saved. The damage has happened already.

This type of hiring is more of an anticipation of work, if they are hiring to do work they are way behind the curve.

A multi billion dollar drop in sales is still sales, but not the ones they are wanting

There is no need to defend Bud Light.
Not only their sales dropped but now they're laying off hundreds of employees after their massive gaffe to try and appeal to their woke customers neglecting their base customers.

You go woke you go broke

I am not defending any company because their bottom line does not matter to me, I am pointing out how companies streamline and use the 'mean and lean' approach to do good business.

You get awake and middle management don't eat cake.

Do you consider this as good business?!
Loosing billions of dollars in sales and start firing some of their staff with more to come if their sales drop further.

That could be, but corporate America knows the Attention span of the average American is about 8.2 seconds.

How they move forward - like any other company - is IMO how these companies determined that they are doing good business - by moving forward. Nobody here is focusing on what this company is actually doing to move their company forward.

Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI.BR), whose Bud Light sales have recently slumped in the United States, will lay off hundreds of corporate staff in the country, CNN reported on Wednesday citing a company statement.

The job cuts would represent less than 2% of total employees at the world's largest brewer, but would not include frontline staff like brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, field sales among others, CNN reported.

Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Bud Light and Budweiser have recently seen its sales drop in the US after a backlash from conservatives over a social media promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and has been dethroned by Constellation Brands' (STZ.N) Modelo Especial as the top-selling beer brand in the country.

A few comments.

First and most important, if you go woke then you go broke. I think everyone should learn their lesson by now.

On a plus side, frontline staff haven't lost their jobs. I am not in favour of people loosing their jobs, especially ordinary workers who have nothing to do with the bad decisions caused by others in the company (management) and could be against this woke madness.

The article mentions the sales drop after a backlash from conservatives. But it's not only conservatives who criticise the woke ideology and the fact Bud Light, Ben & Jerry's, NatWest, and all other companies/corporations are there to sell us their products and services, but they are not there to tell us how to think, what to think, what to say, how we will say what we want to say, and to try push the woke agenda through their products and with the help of bad actors.

They should #can the ad department.
They started this bull crap.

Considering you refuse to give a single example of anything it certainly seems like you're making something up. However, since you refuse to even explain what you're talking about I don't know what it is you're making up.

Why anyone should be focusing on what this company is doing to move 'forward'??

We like to focus on their gaffe to employ a gay man who pretends to be a transwoman by mocking actual women and by trying to insult the intelligence of everyone else. And for this reason they have lost billions and now are firing their staff.

I totally get it. You would have to have a few smarts about you to grasp the sooper hidden meaning behind my sooper cryptic posts. I've been honing this skill for decades. And with you being brand new to ATS, we can't expect you to just pick up on the nuances of each poster. Just pretend I'm your biggest fan. Better?

Why your focus should be more expansive as to how this company moves forward is for the supposed gaffed-customers to realize that boycotting from a small customer base amounts to not much damage and a company such as this one with great financial assets can just move on and prosper, so then can the supposed gaffed-customers also move forward with their lives.

Perhaps you haven't read my message but let me put it down again

The damage is not hypothetical but real. The loses are great and hundreds of their staff are fired. It seems their sales are down quite a lot and the facts speak for themselves. Not just a small base of their customers as you said. If they keep going woke they will get out of business eventually.

It is actually "go woke or go broke"
Quite literally
It IS the ESG/Blackrock/Fink campaign.
They are gatekeeping publicly traded corps from the market and providing funding
for esg players. Some smaller biz's may jump on the band wagon.
It is beyond insane. It is intentional and tactical.
Reason? who knows
To intentionally wreck the economy?
Kill of Amercan branding?
To hide an unelected gov?
To cause internal strife and reduce unionization?
