Coke Cuts Jobs Across The Country, Eliminates 1% Workforce

According to the Coca-Cola spokesman, Coke is cutting jobs across the U.S., eliminating about 1% of its 75,000 U.S. workforce.

According to CNN Money, about one in four of the jobs being eliminated are in the Atlanta area, home to Coke’s headquarters.

GPB News also reported that a memo was sent to employees last month, noting that it had identified “areas that must be improved” since buying the North American operations of its largest bottler in 2010. The memo also noted it was realigning its U.S. business into three geographies, down from seven, to reflect the successful structure in its food-service business.
