Many are talking about potential February layoffs. Does anyone have solid intel, or are we all just anxiously guessing? I wish we knew one way or the other so we could prepare.

@c1 looks like Rick was probably asked to go. That was a short message on him.
Email was sent today by Adrienne. 500 roles
“…. This spring, we’re consolidating the number of store districts to streamline our field structure and better empower our store directors to meet guests’ needs. This change also fuels our ability to put significantly more payroll in our stores – primarily in additional labor and hours where needed most, but also in new guest experience training for every team member at every store. Within our supply chain team, we’re standardizing the field operating model to reduce complexity and better match business needs.
These changes will help our field teams work more efficiently and with more focus, while increasing store labor hours in service of our guests. But they also result in the elimination of around 500 roles – about 100 at the store district level and about 400 across our supply chain sites. While these are the right moves for our business, they directly impact team members, and those are incredibly difficult decisions to make. We have already shared the news with team members directly impacted, and we’ll be supporting them through this transition with a range of resources and benefits….”
@10h where did you find this info?
@10h company wide or just in districts that are being eliminated/consolidated?
@10c Any insight to the 400 supply chain positions?
@OP the intel is true. They just announced they are terminating all DSDs and business partner roles.
@10c across all Regions?
@10b it’s true! Impacts 19 districts being eliminated along with roles across supporting pyramids. Those people have been made aware and are gone HR-PM-AP, food impact too.
Heard that there were field realignment impacts today. Anyone have any more info?
When?
It's true
GSCL layoffs, leaning heavily towards online fulfillment as stores have mostly taken over that process. The only exception will be 2-3 strategically placed standalone that will ship big and bulky that cannot be filled through stores due to limited storage. This explains the inconsistency of last peak season in the FCs as ship from store went through troubleshooting.
Firings in the csuite need to happen
I’d like to know about the field/GSCL rumors.
