I read the comment below and went and listened to the Podcast "The Daily" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/podcasts/the-daily/unemployment-coronavirus-pandemic.html
I also found several print articles about these "layoffs" in the Huffington post, the New York Times and others and I have to say as a long time Weight Watchers member, I am appalled!! I had no idea (guess I am late to the game) that they did this to these poor women. Most of them over 50 and having dedicated their lives to the company now have nowhere to turn. What a travesty and then Weight Watchers has the nerve to ask us to donated to a food drive? I would rather donate to these employees. Shame on Oprah! Shame on the company. I have cancelled my membership even though I know the program works. I refuse to be affiliated with a company that is so callous and uncaring.
