KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The top executive of Kansas City-based beer maker Boulevard Brewing Company has become the third high-ranking employee to leave since a viral Reddit post accused the company of being a harmful place to work for women.
Jeff Krum, who has led Boulevard since 2016 and worked there for more than 25 years, confirmed his resignation to The Kansas City Star after informing employees in an email Wednesday afternoon.
“As president, one of my oversight responsibilities was to ensure that all our workplaces were free of any form of real or perceived harassment or demonstrations of unwanted attention,” Krum told employees. “Disclosures of recent days make it clear that this was not always achieved.”
