Thread regarding Coca-Cola Co. layoffs

CCR GTS blah blah from Scholefield

Can someone read between the lines on this bs email from high up ?

Global IT GTS associates:

Over the past 18 months, GTS has taken substantial steps to stabilize and scale infrastructure solutions across the Company, CCR and CONA Bottler operations driving synergies and operational efficiencies for the business. However, in order to optimize the work to support the Company’s recent bottler refranchising plans, we will begin immediately to realign CCR infrastructure work to the BIG IT organization.

The work will transition into the BIG organization over the next several months. We will communicate the impact of this shift the week of February 16, at the same time of the overall GIT announcements. In fact, while we are planning the transition of the CCR GTS work, we will also be identifying work we can stop, scale back or move to further streamline and simplify GTS.

I encourage you to stay focused on the important work we’re delivering now, to assist in the transition preparation, and to stay tuned for more information as we finalize our plans. We are committed to being transparent and to provide as much information as frequently and quickly as we can, and we’ll ensure fair, equitable and compassionate treatment of all our people throughout this process.

To learn more about the changes we’re making, my Leadership Team will hold a live Chatter session on Tuesday, Jan. 27 to respond to questions you might have. Please look for a message on Monday with additional details regarding Tuesday’s session.

Regards,

Jim

The combined service organization is dead. Whatever percentage of resources in gts servicing the ccr clients and infrastructure will be impacted. I think ccr clients consume about 50 percent of the services. So maybe 50 percent impacted? Add on our way forward cuts form Kent. Maybe sprinkle in some outsourcing and elimination of whole categories of work. i also heard they are posting all the positions. Chaos.
