Laid off WW Guide

I have been a WW Guide for a little over 3 years, and I am disgusted as to how this was handled. An email about a mandatory phone call which turned out to be a very short termination phone call. My TM read a script, muted us all, and ended it. That's that. This is your last day. Thank you for your service, but we have to cut costs. You will have free membership for life. Then a follow up email with instructions on how to send equipment back. Oh, and you can't discuss this with anyone.

No explanation to members as to why we aren't there anymore. No option of furlough, but we could reapply in the future if any positions open. We are being swept under the rug. Workshops are business as usual, like nothing happened. It hurts.

I love the program. I wanted to give back. I lost almost 80 pounds on WW. Everyone is upset, those who were laid off and those who had the "privilege" of staying. Horrible management. We need transparency. The public has a right to know.

This is awful, this is just one of the many problems that I have with WW, first one we the members who are not online members shouldn't get charged during COVID-19. I was once employed by WW I left became of racial discrimination. I feel the company has never been very member friendly.

Its amazing that WW didn't have the funds or integrity to weather this COVID-19 storm.

I just feel there will be huge backlash from the public and members after this is over

Let the public know. They'll be very concerned about you among the other 30 million people out of work.
