Absolutely nothing happened today at HE.
Can anyone confirm layoffs are def happening tomorrow (tues)? Is it Hoffman?
It's a skeleton crew already. Was a 30% reduction a month and a half ago. If this is true, it must be either divisional or format specific. Kmart or apparel, but those have already been pounded.
All full-line stores will close. As for Eddie's desire for smaller format stores it may be delayed due to a lawsuit by Sears Hometown and Outlet investors. Everything is going to backfire on Eddie.
No rooms are booked
Are conference rooms booked?
I currently work in Hoffman and I haven't heard anything about layoffs. I suppose it could happen but I have noticed a large decrease in folks in the terrace cafe at lunch time the last few months. Yes, I know a lot of folks work from home but there was a couple of large layoffs last month. I have heard managers complain about being short staffed and they can't get the work done that is expected... I am guessing less than 1,000 people left here at corporate, maybe in the 800 to 900 range. I would not be surprised to see Aramark close down the cafe at this rate, esp if another layoff hits this month.
HE conference rooms are not booked yet for such an event like the last on Aug 28
