Mark Sweney – The Guardian Oct 16, 2025
Nestlé has said it will cut 16,000 jobs over the next two years as the owner of KitKat and Nescafé attempts to reduce costs and increase sales.
The Swiss-headquartered multinational said the cuts would include 12,000 white-collar professionals and 4,000 in its manufacturing and supply chain, close to 6% of Nestlé’s global workforce.
“The world is changing and Nestlé needs to change faster,” said Philipp Navratil, the new chief executive. “This will include making hard but necessary decisions to reduce headcount over the next two years. We will do this with respect and transparency.”
Navratil, who replaced Laurent Freixe last month after he was fired for failing to disclose a romantic relationship with a subordinate, announced an acceleration of his predecessor’s cost-saving plan to free up cash.
The company, which owns consumer goods brands including Häagen-Dazs ice-cream, Nespresso coffee capsules and Purina cat food, will seek to make savings of 3bn Swiss francs (£2.8bn) by 2027, up from a previous target of 2.5bn francs.
Freixe’s firing, which was followed two weeks later by the resignation of the chair, Paul Bulcke, destabilised a company that was already under pressure to bolster growth and reduce debt.
“We will be bolder in investing at scale and driving innovation to deliver accelerated growth and value creation,” Navratil said. “We are fostering a culture that embraces a performance mindset, that does not accept losing market share, and where winning is rewarded.”
Nestlé employed nearly 4,200 staff in the UK at the end of last year, according to company filings. Its UK head office is in Gatwick, and it has a production facility in York that makes KitKats.
Nestle says its sales are suffering due to Israel boycotts
Louis Goss – Market Watch Oct 17, 2024
Nestle has said its sales have suffered this year due to boycotts of companies linked to Israel.
The Swiss conglomerate, which owns brands including Nescafe and KitKat, has become a major target for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement due to its ownership of Israeli food seller Osem.
In a trading update on Thursday, Nestle said it has now seen a slowdown in its real internal growth (RIG) metric as a result of “consumer hesitancy towards global brands, linked to geopolitical tension.”
There has been a big campaign to punish nestle for its crimes against the people
in the town where i live recently possibly 100 sprayed slogans across the town with ” support the BDS” people think they have no power but they do, we can bring down these israeli criminals by boycotting their products
nestle like starbucks and simon cowell give money to the IDF
boycott all israeli producrs
Poppy display axed as UK council shut down Remembrance Day plan
Story by Grace Piercy
A Remembrance Day display has been cancelled due to ” racist” flags being put on lamp posts, which are insulting to migrants
The Hoyland Remembrance and Parade Group has previously decorated lamp posts and street signs in the Barnsley town with wooden poppies. Each of the 350 poppies would feature the name of a dead soldier commemorated on Hoyland’s war memorial.
However the group said “with a heavy heart” that the 2025 display was cancelled after it sought advice from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, prompted by “racist displays of flags on lampposts”. The council reportedly laid out a number of “onerous” conditions, such as installing poppies above head height on non-road signage poles but not allowing the group to lean ladders against poles for installation.
The poppies could also not be attached to road signs and would need to be removed after Remembrance Day. The Hoyland Remembrance and Parade Group said it was “genuinely disheartened” as the number of poppies they could have displayed was “reduced considerably”
THE PUBLC WANT TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS PUNISHED
Police have revealed the first lying shitbag zio-politicians to be fitted with electronic tags under a new scheme aiming to deter repeat
and more offences. against the British people
Ker Starmer and his gang have been ordered by Sussex Police to wear the tags for 12 months and avoid certain areas with near British people
for their own protection
The force said it is the first in the country to tag prolific racist politicians with location monitoring tags. They allow police to monitor the offenders’ movements in real-time, helping to deter further offences and enabling swift action if breaches or tampering occur.
The Ministry of Justice revealed in September that up to 2,000 more political offenders committing hate crimes against the people of the UK
and dirty jews and their apologists will be tagged each year as part of the reforms, in the biggest expansion of electronic monitoring since curfew tags were introduced in 1999.
i wish this was true
Quarterly profits sag and so the need to lay off a bunch of people will give the shareholders profits, save on salaries, is typical industry practice…has nothing to do with Israeli boycotts, which is made up. Their products are tainted with metals, weird substances mixed in with their so called chocolates, corn syrup and soy and high pricing …which we (humanity) are fed up with (consumer hesitancy).
It doesn’t mean anything. All jobs will eventually be phased out by Artificial Israelis (AI)
Oh, the irony! Trump, the Republican Party and now the UK Conservative Party are all bitching about the costs being imposed on shipping which produces excess CO2 and to which Starmer appeared committed. The Yanks imposed massive costs on China’s shipping simply because they can’t compete with them, while the UK Tories imposed a bedroom tax on poor people with an extra room simply because it hurts the poor, but they’re all complaining now about extra charges. Global warming is fake but it puts it into context when reactionaries quick to impose costs find themselves on the paying-out end of similar excess charges.
The Conservative Party asked Starmer to not vote for this CO2 shipping policy because the costs would be high and offer unfair advantage to the Chinese. That right there is an admission China produces goods cheaper than we in the west, or to use the vernacular around here, we are a f**king rip off.

Nestlé can and should burn to the ground. EVERY brand that Nestlé bought up was turned to shit and EVERY product Nestlé puts out is f*cking sewage. Everyone on the Board of Directors and on their corporate executive floor should be stripped naked, shoved into a pit, have hatchets, machetes, and claw hammers tossed in, and made to fight each other to the death. Then any survivors lit up with flame throwers.
Nestle bottled water is a crime. Taking natural water given by God and selling it to people is a crime against humanity.
