Poor One Out For These Guys: This Group Of Hard Workers Struggle As Their Brand Continues To Get Mocked And Boycotted

Bud Light salespeople are facing challenges as Americans continue to boycott the company, using "car horns, middle fingers and jokes" to express their frustration, according to a recent report by ABC News.

The boycott has caused a significant decline in sales, resulting in frontline salespeople losing out on commission. "This has really, really killed a lot of the guys who are commission-based. That's who it's really hurting," one supervisor told ABC News.

The boycott began over seven weeks ago when it was revealed that Bud Light had partnered with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer. The backlash against Mulvaney has continued, with some stores being forced to give away Bud Light for free.

The boycott is now causing pain all the way down the supply chain, sales supervisors and distributors for Bud Light told ABC News. Former Anheuser-Busch InBev executive Anson Frericks said, "Good people are going to start leaving because they aren't making money."

At a recent meeting with Bud Light salespeople, the president of a distributor in the Midwest reportedly told employees that the boycott will hopefully end soon. "None of this is your fault and none of this is my fault," he said. "I'm frustrated that this has [dragged] on as long as it has," the president of the distributor said. "I'm hopeful that we're moving in the right direction."

Despite the challenges, Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, has not yet commented on the situation. The company has reportedly resorted to buying back unsold, expired beer from wholesalers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
