NEW YORK (AP) Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, confirmed this week is laying off hundreds of positions across its U.S. corporate staff.

In a statement to The Associated Press, the beer maker said the layoffs will impact less than 2% of its workforce. Anheuser-Buschs website says the company employs 19,000 employees nationwide.

Warehouse staff, drivers and other frontline employees will not be affected, the company said.

The job cuts arrive during a rocky time for Anheuser-Busch, which has seen a months-long sales decline for Bud Light since April when conservative critics vowed to boycott the brand after the brewer sent a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light has also faced backlash from Mulvaneys supporters and LGBTQ+ rights groups , who say the brand didnt do enough to support her.

Mulvaney later shared that she felt abandoned by Bud Light, and faced more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined over the partnership.
