CBSN
Starbucks is laying off 1,100 workers, CEO Brian Niccol said in a companywide message that was made public Monday.
The coffee chain is taking the action under its "Back to Starbucks" restructuring plan designed to revitalize the brand, in part by serving in-store customers more quickly.
"This includes the hard decision to eliminate 1,100 current support partner roles and several hundred additional open and unfilled positions," Niccol said in the memo. "We are simplifying our structure, removing layers and duplication and creating smaller, more nimble teams. Our intent is to operate more efficiently, increase accountability, reduce complexity and drive better integration. All with the goal of being more focused and able to drive greater impact on our priorities."
