Are there layoffs today at corporate? I keep seeing these posts pop up but there's no info. What's going on? Nothing happening at store level, at least here.

An Update on Our Transformation
As we work to advance our strategic transformation, we all know that we must return the company to profitability in order to retain the confidence of our constituents. This means continuing to look at ways to streamline our operations while staying focused on our Best Members, Best Categories and Best Stores.
Today, we made the very difficult decision to eliminate a number of positions across various business units and roles. While these changes didn't impact a large percentage of our workforce, your leadership team and I want you to know that these decisions were not taken lightly or easily. We are grateful for the contributions of these associates and we are committed to treating them with compassion and respect during this challenging time, including offering severance and outplacement assistance to make career transitions easier for all who are eligible.
@bny - "Just haters spreading lies." That coming from a fool spouting nonsense.
No layoffs today. Notice how there are no specifics in any posts. Just haters spreading lies.
That news story is from 2014. Though oddly timely at the same time. This thing is like a zombie.

200 jobs lost.
Yes, many
OK, thanks.
Some IT people let go at Hoffman. Not sure how many.
