At last- something this freak and I agree on.

Dylan Mulvaney takes trip to Peru to 'feel safe' after Bud Light disaster

By all means, live the remainder of your life in a safe place outside of this country.

Aren't Latin American countries a bit "macho" for Mulvaney's sort of thing? Maybe not so safe!

Dylan is at Machu Picchu. I don't think throwing an Inca sacrificial rite event is going to help AB at this point.

Agreed. Good beer for a big brew company.

It couldn't hurt

If Dylan has gotten his first period by next week, I’m gonna assume he’s got a bun in the oven.

Quick, someone shut and lock the door...

Peru's spike in GBS cases, deaths prompts health emergency declaration

July 11, 2023
Lisa Schnirring

Peru's health ministry on July 8 declared a health emergency due to a rise in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) cases, and yesterday the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) fleshed out some of the details, including that 191 cases meeting the country's case definition have been recorded, 4 of them fatal.

Eight departments have reported cases, with Lima and La Libertad among the hardest-hit locations. Nearly 58% of the patients are males, with an average age of 41 years. PAHO said Peru typically averages about 20 GBS cases a month, but 96 cases were reported in June.

Of the GBS patients, 23.0% initially presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, and 24.1% first had respiratory symptoms. And, of samples collected from patients, 11 were positive for Campylobacter jejuni.

ROSAL

There is throwing the human into the volcano as a sacrifice, but GBS gets the human to throw themselves into the volcano as a sacrifice.

Be certain to try the tap water, Mulvaney.

This one's worth listening to. Twice.



She has great ... um,eye contact...voice. yeah.

Saw this today at my local grocery store

Anheuser-Busch laying off hundreds across the US, up to 2% of workforce!

Anheuser-Busch is laying off up to 2% of its U.S. corporate employees, a spokesperson said Wednesday.

These cuts come as a result of restructuring within the brewing company’s corporate side. Layoffs will not impact A-B frontline employees such as brewery and warehouse staff, drivers and field sales, the company said.

A-B’s parent company, AB InBev, employs over 18,000 workers within the U.S. Two percent would be 360 workers.

A-B has not yet said how many St. Louis employees are directly affected.

Employees who are being laid off, and sign a waiver, will receive severance pay, be paid out their unused vacation time, will receive six months of continued company-paid health insurance benefits and help finding a new job, according to an A-B email sent to affected local workers Wednesday.

“Today we took the very difficult but necessary decision to eliminate a number of positions across our corporate organization,” said Brendan Whitworth, Anheuser-Busch CEO. “While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our organization continues to be set for future long-term success.”

As of March, the company had 167,000 employees worldwide in 50 countries, according to regulatory filings.

The company is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, while North American headquarters can be found at One Busch Place in St. Louis.

These layoffs come months after the company saw controversy over transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s video promoting Bud Light in April. Calls for a boycott caused Bud Light sales to plummet, though Bud Light has been shrinking for years.

The company made $57.8 billion in revenues during the last fiscal year, up from $54.3 billion the year before. It reported a $6 billion profit, up from $4.7 billion the year before.

After an extended period of denial, it looks like A-B came to the realization that it needed to make some 'big boy' business decisions!

It truly sucks that American workers are losing their jobs because of that smug idiotic moron and her quest to acquire new customers with absolutely zero regard or appreciation for their current customers.

It’s a shame the consequences of her colossal mistake have to be suffered by those who didn’t do anything wrong.

It appears this layoffs will primarily affect middle management positions, and of course, NOT those who bear the responsibility for this epic ongoing clusterfuck!

Surely, they could save as much money by shitcanning the C-suite. And they're the ones who caused this mess, not the rank and file.

This is how bud light redeems themselves. They apologize and fire EVERY SINGLE big wig chucklehead who was in any way related to this cluster. They of course wont do this so they will continue to see their brand implode like that submarine.

• 'These corporate structure changes will enable our teams to focus on what we do best—brewing great beer for everyone,' Whitworth said

Anheuser-Busch is set to lay off hundreds of employees in the wake of the brand's disastrous Dylan Mulvaney partnership that saw Bud Light - once America's favorite brew - lose its title as top-selling beer to Modelo.

The company announced its decision to lay off about 2 percent of its US workforce in a statement released by Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth Wednesday.

There are around 19,000 people employed by the company in the US, meaning approximately 380 staff are set to lose their jobs.

'Today we took the very difficult but necessary decision to eliminate a number of positions across our corporate organization,' Whitworth said.

'While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our organization continues to be set for future long-term success,' he added.

'These corporate structure changes will enable our teams to focus on what we do best—brewing great beer for everyone.'

Workers who are laid off will receive severance pay, paid out of their unused vacation time, receive six months of continued company-paid health insurance benefits and help finding a new job, according to an email sent to employees Wednesday.

The restructuring 'will simplify and reduce layers within its organization,' a spokesperson said.

But, the layoffs will NOT affect frontline workers, such as 'brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, and field sales reps among others.'

The move comes in the wake of the controversial partnership by brewer Anheuser-Busch in April with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Since then, Anheuser-Busch has tanked more than $27 billion in market value and two of its top executives took a 'leave of absence.'

Earlier this month, Bud Light was kicked off the top 10 beers in the US after the Dylan Mulvaney marketing disaster.

The brand currently remains the number one beer brand by volume, but lands in second place by dollar sales, with Constellation Brands’ Modelo taking the top spot.

A YouGov poll, which asked 1,468 people, the public approval of the beer slumped so much it fell out of the top ten.

While the proportion of Americans who 'liked' Bud Light hadn't changed, the popularity of other rival beers surged, pushing it into 15th place!

For its survey, YouGov polled a nationally representative sample of 1,468 Americans during the second quarter of 2023, which runs from April to the end of June.

They found that Guinness, Corona and Heineken were the three most liked beers of 2023, with approval from 58 percent, 53 percent and 51 percent of Americans, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2022, 42 percent of Americans 'liked' Bud Light, according to YouGov, putting it on a par with Corona Extra, Dos Equis and Coors Light.

The Bud Light figure remained the same during the second quarter of 2023, but as other beers saw their approval rise, its relative approval fell into a tie with Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Light.

Mulvaney had shared images of herself himself with a personalized can celebrating one year since she transitioned as well as posed with cans of the beer in a bathtub.

The brand where accused of meddling in one of the most hot-button culture war issues there is.

The partnership upset conservative drinkers who were quick to boycott the brand but also enraged liberals who said the company failed to respond in solidarity with Mulvaney.

Mulvaney only recently broke her his silence on the fiasco and excoriated the troubled brand for not standing by her.

Sales of the beer have continued to decline as the company continued to alienate an increasingly large portion of the market.

This drop in sales coincides with an increase in Modelo sales, indicating that America's appetite for beer remains strong, but its preferences are shifting.

Modelo Especial's distribution is controlled by Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch, but its US operations are owned by Constellation Brands, which reported an 11 percent increase in sales for the second quarter of this year.

In mid-June, Modelo became the best-selling beer in the US, a position previously held by Bud Light for more than two decades!

Emphasis and accuracy added...

They have gotten every single decision around this so wrong, then doubled down on it, I'm starting to think it was intentional. I don't know why they'd want to kill off their brand in such a way, but you couldn't do this much damage by accident.

On a personal note...
My daughter was NOT affected by the A-B layoffs.
She's a mechanical engineer working in the Cap-X department managing projects at different breweries.
However, she is planning on leaving voluntarily and going back into oil and gas and (unfortunately for me) will be leaving St. Louis.

Yes it is, the time it took to fire the gal and her boss, on leave with pay, and now the CEO if following through on his threat that line workers would lose their jobs.

Who the hell is giving this man advice like this, fire workers to see if people will come back? Ludicrous, if I was an AB employee at that level I'd be over at the Miller distributors warehouse applying for a job, same for a driver who knows all the bar owners, restaurants, 7/11's.

^^^Uhhh, the layoffs will NOT affect frontline workers, such as 'brewery and warehouse staff, drivers, and field sales reps among others.'
