Starbucks 1,000 jobs fasak


Recommended Posts

Starbucks said it would lay off 1,100 corporate employees and not fill hundreds of open roles, part of new chief executive Brian Niccol’s effort to streamline operations. 

Niccol said in a message Monday that the cuts would remove corporate layers and duplications and would help the coffee company become more focused. 

Starbucks has been struggling with a string of quarterly sales declines as customers have sought out cheaper coffee, or balked at long lines. Niccol has pledged to bring back the company’s old cafe vibe in stores, speed up service and improve the mobile ordering experience. 

As of September, Starbucks had 16,000 corporate employees, including those supporting store operations, store development, and roasting. The company said the layoffs wouldn’t affect roasting, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution workers.

Cafe workers also wouldn’t be affected by the cuts, Starbucks said. 

The layoffs are among the largest rounds of cuts in Starbucks’s history. In 2018, Starbucks said it would lay off 5% of its global corporate workforce, amounting to around 350 people. 

Starbucks shares ticked up to $112.48 in morning trading. 

Other restaurant chains have unveiled their own layoffs or restructuring moves recently. Bloomin’ Brands said last week that it would lay off around 100 corporate employees in its Tampa, Fla.-based support center, or around 17% of the division’s workforce. 

Yum Brands said last week that it would no longer maintain a headquarters in Louisville, Ky., moving around 100 KFC employees to its Plano, Texas, office. 

Starbucks said Monday that managers would reach out to affected workers by Tuesday and that they would receive severance and other transition assistance. The company asked hybrid workers to stay at home this week.

On Monday, the company said that future North American corporate hires would largely need to work in Seattle or Toronto, where Starbucks maintains a support office, as part of increasing expectations for in-office work.

Middle management, mid -level roles are most effected. If you are only doing managerial work, with less technical hands on, you are at the chopping block. Might be many H1b uncles got impacted. CC: @Sucker @ARYA
