Coke cutting 1,200 jobs.

http://www.myajc.com/business/coca-cola-says-will-begin-cutting-200-jobs-later-this-year/P3YiVLis8DYSktzlazjAeJ/

Coca-Cola said Tuesday it will be cutting 1,200 corporate jobs later this year as part of an expanded cost-cutting program.
Coca-Cola President James Quincey, who takes over as chief executive of the Atlanta company on May 1, announced the job cuts during the company’s first-quarter earnings call with investors.

No specifics were immediately available on how many jobs might be cut at Coca-Cola’s headquarters, but a company spokesman said they would be “significant.”

“We expect to see changes throughout our corporate organization, including Atlanta and elsewhere, as we fundamentally change the way we work to be faster, more agile and more efficient,” said Coca-Cola spokesman Kent Landers. “While we don’t yet know the exact impact in Atlanta, we expect it will be a significant percentage of the total.”
