Nestlé’s 16,000 Job Cuts: $3B Bet on Automation - or a Cover-Up?

Insider Data You Won't Find Anywhere else...

In 2024, when Nestlé’s U.S. workforce hummed along, I saw the cracks forming in CPG… and now a multi-billion-dollar empire teetering on a pivot hiding in plain sight. Today, as they announce they are cutting 16,000 jobs and tout a $3B automation savior, my data screams a different truth.

This isn’t just about robots.

It’s a desperate reinvention, and I’ve been tracking it for 5 years.

The core insight? Nestlé is dismantling a bloated legacy - sales teams gutted, management layers stripped - maybe even to bet on premium brands like Nespresso amid a market meltdown.

My chart, built from months of proprietary workforce tracking, reveals a pre-2025 cut trend that outpaces their shiny tech narrative.

This is a company turning internal chaos into a $3B gamble, and the payoff? It could redefine the food giant… or sink it.

I’ve dissected Nestlé’s every hire and exit…. What you’ll find here is the unvarnished reality of how Nestlé’s infrastructure is being rewired, why today’s cuts signal a seismic shift, and where this $3B bet could lead in the AI and premium era.

The full story is below… a sharp framework to decode Nestlé’s present and predict its future…. a must-know for anyone watching the CPG chessboard. Hope you’re as riveted as I am.
