Starbucks to cut 61 technology jobs in Seattle
Starbucks will lay off 61 corporate workers in its technology division at its Seattle headquarters, the company disclosed in a WARN filing on Monday.
The coffee giant, under CEO Brian Niccol, has been executing a turnaround strategy, focused on improving metrics like wait times and reported customer satisfaction, helping sales, while profit margin recovery remains in question.
The cuts were not included in Starbucks’ announcement last month that some technology jobs would move from Seattle to an upcoming office in Nashville, Tennessee, focused on the company’s supply chain.
