Memo: Anheuser-Busch procurement department may be trimmed
Lager Heads has learned that the procurement department at Anheuser-Busch’s St. Louis headquarters will be closed on Thursday as the company informs individual employees of whether they still have jobs.
According to a memo sent to employees, “meetings will be scheduled with employees to discuss the department restructuring impact on individual positions.” The company asked all procurement division employees, including administrative staff, to work from home.
This is just the latest round of such meetings that A-B employees have weathered in the wake of InBev’s buyout last year.

If only they were as good at brewing beer as they are laying people off and running gold-standard multinationals into the ground. Sickening.
