They are the worst business has had to offer. That last CEO who shall not even be named..HAS NO SHAME.

It's in 30 minutes. Am I as good as gone? Is this how they're notifying people? Is there any chance it could be something else?

I'm not going to be surprised if in the future that's no longer an option. After all, it's not mandated by law, so I can definitely see this leadership deciding it's no longer "in the company's best interest" to keep paying it.

Everyone's talking about big numbers. My team hasn't been hit yet, but that doesn't mean it's safe tomorrow. Judging by the rumors and reports, it definitely looks bad. I'm afraid our worst predictions are coming true.

How we'll continue to function properly after this is beyond me. Nobody thinks about the future, they just care about what they can save right now.

Why are most of the affected folks 40 and above? I'm yet to see somebody in their 20s or 30s affected, at least for now.

My best wishes to the people who've already gotten one. I truly hope this turns out for the best for everyone impacted.

Sorry to hear this for a lot of you.

The macro labor market is weak with lots of retailers going out of business (experienced managers looking for jobs would take half of what I make). Who else is ready for severance vs just coasting and taking the 25 pto +6 holiday=31 paid days off... — read more 

What else is there to say but good luck to all of us.

Has anyone heard anything? Doesn't seem like its today, but maybe my org hasn't been hit yet.

I know a few folks who were recently fired for ridiculous things. That's been my biggest fear lately. Being laid off at least leaves us with some kind of a safety net. I'm not trying to minimize the impact of what's coming, just saying that sadly... — read more

I’ve been here over ten years, and I’ve witnessed a growing carelessness in selecting people for layoffs. Whatever criteria they claim to use, the reality is they disproportionately target the people who hold the institutional knowledge, understand... — read more 

It would be better to layoff people who don’t want to be there. The people who are cheering for layoff because they don’t like being there. These are people they should pick for layoffs. They are going to leave anyway. They are not motivated. Have... — read more

I can only imagine how the people cut this week are feeling. The rest of us will probably spend it consumed with anxiety over next week. About which we still know almost nothing. What a way to treat people.

For those who got the layoff news: how did it come? Was it a sudden calendar invite for a one-on-one, or an email, or something else? Trying to know what to watch for.

Is the company interested in trying to keep any District Managers that might want to take a demotion to Store Manager? This would allow the company to keep experienced people and get rid of less qualified people, no? I am just wondering if the fact... — read more
