Anheuser-Busch will reportedly let go of some corporate employees after its Bud Light brand lost its status as the No. 1 beer in America.
Anheuser-Busch is planning to lay off hundreds of employees months after gaining attention for a partnership with a trans influencer, which garnered backlash from some customers, according to multiple reports. The Wall Street Journal reported the layoffs would affect about 2% of its 18,000-person workforce.
It is unclear whether the layoffs were caused by the partnership as Anheuser-Busch's stock value has been on an overall decline for several years. The partnership was panned in right-wing circles, which have been targeting transgender rights. Days after Mulvaney posted her video, Kid Rock posted his own video on social media. It featured him with a high-powered rifle shooting at cans of Bud Light.
