Starbucks is eliminating 1,100 corporate jobs as part of a restructuring effort aimed at streamlining operations and increasing efficiency, CEO Brian Niccol announced on Feb. 24. The layoffs affect global support staff but will not impact in-store employees.
The decision is part of Starbucks’ “Back to Starbucks” plan, which aims to simplify its corporate structure by removing redundant roles and creating smaller, more agile teams. Niccol said the move is designed to “operate more efficiently, increase accountability, reduce complexity, and drive better integration.”
