EMEA started getting invites and mass layoff process officially kicked off in some locations. However, due to labor laws it will take several weeks before specific people are cut and lose access to Slack, so Slack totals won't reflect it for a long time.
When are they announcing the next round of closures? Any updates? Any signs for stores to be looking out for that would mean they are on the list? When do you think the next announcement will be?
"NEW YORK — Today, the U.S. Postal Service honored humanitarian and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel with a stamp. Wiesel dedicated his life to preserving the memory of the Holocaust, championing Jewish causes, and defending human rights. He is the 18th honoree in the Distinguished Americans stamp series. A dedication ceremony for the stamp was held in New York City.
Elie served on the Mutual of America Board of Directors for many years and his contributions to our great company can not be overstated.
“The Postal Service honoring Elie Wiesel is important because our stamps highlight the greatness of the American experience. This stamp serves as a reminder of this remarkable man, and his legacy of resilience and compassion,” said Ronald A. Stroman, a member of the Postal Service Board of Governors and dedicating official for the stamp. “As a journalist, as an author, as an activist, and most importantly, as a teacher, Elie Wiesel chose again and again to speak for those who had no voice and it is a well-deserved recognition to have his image as the 18th stamp in the Distinguished Americans Stamp series.”
Joining Stroman for the ceremony were TV meteorologist Lee Goldberg, who served as master of ceremonies; Elisha Wiesel, son of Elie Wiesel and chairman of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity; Rabbi David Ingber, senior director of Jewish Life at the Bronfman Center; and Seth Pinsky, chief executive, 92nd Street Y.
Wiesel became the voice for victims and survivors of the Holocaust and fought for human rights at every opportunity. He wrote “Night” (1960), which a powerful account of his experience in Na-i death camps. Wiesel became a United States citizen in 1963. He was appointed chairman of the President’s Commission on the Holocaust in 1978, which led to the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1993.
Throughout his career, Wiesel published dozens of works that focused on the aftermath of the Holocaust, the Jewish experience, his deep spiritual connection to Judaism and his enduring love for Israel. His remarkable body of work ensures that future generations will keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.
Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 as a “messenger for mankind.” He and his wife, Marion, established the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity with the prize money.
Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp with a photograph by Sergey Bermeniev. The words “Two Ounce” on this stamp indicate its usage value. Like a Forever stamp, this stamp will always be valid for the rate printed on it.
News of the Elie Wiesel stamp is being shared with the hashtag #ElieWieselStamps. A video will be posted two hours after the ceremony providing more information and insights into the stamp on the Postal Service’s Facebook and YouTube pages at facebook.com/USPS and youtube/usps"

Sycamore Partners has replaced Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth with Mike Motz, who was previously the CEO of office retail store Staples, another Sycamore company.
“Under that CEO’s watch, Staples shuttered a third of its stores,” he said. “It cut tens of thousands of jobs. We’re wary that if Sycamore applies that same playbook to Walgreens, if that CEO that’s coming over from Staples applies that same playbook to Walgreens, we’re going to have … thousands of stores closed, tens of thousands of layoffs, pharmacy deserts in neighborhoods that are already struggling with access to medication.”
Planta, which opened in 2016 and focuses on 100% plant-based dining, will shrink from 18 total locations to eight after a judge signed off on its bankruptcy plan.

Oracle has quietly eliminated more than 3K jobs across the US, India, the Philippines, and Canada, marking one of the largest workforce reductions in its recent history. The cuts took place between August and September 2025, but the company has made no public announcement. Instead, the layoffs were revealed through legally required WARN filings in the United States and similar notices abroad.
The timeline
Where the layoffs happened
Who was affected
Why it happened
The layoffs came just weeks after CEO Larry Ellison met with President Trump and unveiled a $30 billion AI infrastructure deal with OpenAI. Despite strong financial results—$57.4 billion in revenue for fiscal 2024, up 8% year-over-year—Oracle is cutting traditional roles to fund AI expansion.
These are not recession-driven cuts, but deliberate restructuring aimed at shifting resources toward artificial intelligence.
The human impact
Oracle has remained silent publicly, leaving WARN filings and brief internal meetings as the only communication. Many long-serving employees, some with over 20 years at the company, were informed of their termination during short virtual meetings.
One employee shared on LinkedIn that the layoffs highlight a growing reality: companies will eliminate jobs to fund AI, even when profits are strong. Experience and loyalty no longer guarantee security.

Sept 5 (Reuters) - Attorneys general from Colorado and 19 other states on Friday called for a court to consider rejecting a U.S. Department of Justice's settlement allowing Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE.N), opens new tab to acquire Juniper Networks for $14 billion.
The letter from the Democratic attorneys general is the latest development over the DOJ's decision to drop its attempt to block the merger, which a former DOJ official has said was influenced by politically connected lobbyists.
