Coca-Cola says it will begin cutting 1,200 jobs later this year

“We expect to see changes throughout our corporate organization, including Atlanta and elsewhere, as we fundamentally change the way we work to be faster, more agile and more efficient,” said Coca-Cola spokesman Kent Landers. “While we don’t yet know the exact impact in Atlanta, we expect it will be a significant percentage of the total.”

“While these necessary changes are always very difficult, they will help us do fewer things better to lead and support our operating units,” said Quincey, who is replacing long-time CEO Muhtar Kent.
The cost-cutting effort will result in a “a more focused, lean corporate center,” he said.  


So, is The Con going to intervene of is he just gonna take the hit for job losses?

They don't subscribe to a newspaper that would mention it.

It won't be on Hate Radio but at the top of the hour, maybe 1x.

It won't be on Fox unless a Democrat can be blamed.

Perception management.

I see your point, but newspaper subscriptions are dwindling everywhere. lots of Righties don't get the daily paper anymore. like my Dad. he just watches Fox & listens to WLW.

but in the states that won the election for him? OH, MI, WI, IA, PA? won't make their radar, and they won't make a connection to *'s campaign bullshit.

are no longer with Coca Cola but with contractors with hourly pay for limited contracts. They will lay off full time folks who will go to work doing the same thing with no benefits.
