Do you think there will be major layoffs due to Kraft / Unilever Acquisition? Sometimes in 2017? I am not even sure if this will be approved - we'll see what happens. I am thinking that there may be impact in few areas:
-
IT (once they merge systems, or some of them, there will be folks who are redundant, probably on both sides)
-
Human Resources (if they integrate operations, at least some folks will be let go, this may be big)
-
Finance (on the corporate level, it'll be a big hit, local folks may be ok, maybe no layoffs there)
-
Marketing (depends what they do from the brand side, definitely some wil be affected)
-
Legal (for redundant things, hits will happen, there is a lot of overlap here, heads will fly, pink slips. Kraft is heavy here, Unilever possibly too)
-
Any other back office jobs (I'll leave this to your imagination).
What are your thoughts?
