Overview
- In a Dec. 30 notice to Georgia officials, Coca-Cola said separations are expected to begin on or about Feb. 28, 2026, within a 14-day window.
- Coca-Cola frames the reductions as part of a 2025 reorganization to align its workforce for its next phase of growth.
- The company expects phased waves beyond the initial group of roughly 75 Atlanta-based roles.
- It says the advance notice is provided out of an abundance of caution and does not concede that WARN Act thresholds apply.
- The layoffs are permanent with no bumping rights or union representation, the headquarters will remain open, and affected employees received more than 60 days' notice.
