Beer giant Anheuser-Busch confirmed Thursday it will lay off some of its employees in the midst of a months-long boycott against Bud Light after its decision to promote a transgender influencer earlier this year.
Anheuser-Busch told CNN and other news outlets that it would be cutting some of its corporate employees and that a restructuring will be implemented to “simplify and reduce layers within its organization.” Without providing more details, Anheuser-Busch said the layoffs won’t include frontline workers such as “brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, and field sales, among others.”
