The company said the job cuts were necessary because of the sluggish economy and weak sales. Winn-Dixie aims to reduce its administrative workforce by 10% through the elimination of positions, some of which are currently vacant, said Joann Gage, vice president of advertising and marketing.
“Deciding to eliminate positions wasn’t a step we took lightly, but we are firmly committed to the profitability of this company,” Gage was quoted by Dow Jones International News as saying.
