Aramark Trims Staff in Philly

Aramark Corp this week laid off about 3% of its Philadelphia-area workforce of 8,000, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.

The move is part of a restructuring in the company’s finance, information technology, supply chain, and other departments.

Aramark did not provide a total number of job cuts, but the paper estimates 3% to be about 240 people. The company did not say how many people work out of the new headquarters, which employed 1,200 when it opened.

“As we continue to build a growth-minded organization, we restructured our corporate staff to position the company to emerge stronger when the pandemic is behind us,” Aramark said in a statement Friday.
