Will GCC be up and running in 1 month? And then what?

I read that the corporate workforce was around 6,500, which felt surprisingly low for Walgreens. That figure was from 2021. What do you think the corporate headcount is now? Above or below 5,000? That still seems incredibly low to me.

Assume the worst, regardless of what you're told. Layoffs might be over, but don't act like it. This is my second takeover. The first was a nightmare, for me and the company. I'm lining up options and staying ready. Things can go sideways in an... — read more 

We have more than enough of those, and yet it doesn't seem any were affected by these layoffs.

Watching leaders get promoted while experienced teams are laid off is hard enough. Being spoken to with profanity by senior leadership during this time is unacceptable. The tone suggested a level of comfort—and untouchability—that should concern... — read more 

Where do you commute from and how long does it take? Just trying to get idea of how many people are suffering from a bad commute. Reply with information so we can make a case for shuttles, small offices etc.

The cuts around me were completely senseless. They kept some redundant positions, yet laid off people who seemed indispensable, either because of what they brought or the role they filled.

How many of these jokers got cut by state?

In a move that underscores the continued volatility of the American retail pharmacy landscape, the newly private Walgreens Boots Alliance has announced a significant expansion of its workforce reductions and a finalized timeline for its massive store... — read more 

Just venting. I know I will change nothing. I know they do not care but there you have it. This $$$ concept is a cancer.

As part of flattening the organization, Managers and Senior Managers don’t have duties of people management. Directors are having them now. And thus they are now strictly technical. Do Managers and Senior Managers have to contribute now? In other... — read more 

Oh, well... Walgreens is laying off 469 employees across multiple states following its acquisition by Sycamore Partners, adding to prior job cuts and store closures. Since the buyout closed last August, Walgreens has reduced its footprint from... — read more 

Are they still around? I was a contractor on the tech side and left in January because I got a better job and because I’ve worked at a PE owned company before and I knew what was coming? The team I was on was 90% contractors. I can’t imagine what... — read more

Views have decreased. Layoffs are done. Time to stop the worry.

It's only just begun....tough way to live with a company like this now don't you think people. They care less about employee's that is obvious,

Walgreens is cutting more than 600 jobs nationwide. 469 positions eliminated in Illinois; 159 in Texas. Texas distribution center scheduled to close. Sycamore Partners acquired Walgreens for $10 billion and plans cost-cutting... — read more 

Are they targeting Managers & Senior Managers in next wave? Even though they said no layoffs, Do uou think they are trying to get Managers & Senior Managers to quit?

Confirmed in the supply chain town hall today. The room was quite sparse and "questions" were clearly staged.

Pretty frustrating having to wonder around looking for a desk in the support office. Anyone know when they will give us our new neighborhoods? Is 106 ready?

I left in January before OPO closed and before the PE axe swung. Things were tense when I left and I know they got worse before the big cut. Is DF packed wall to wall? Are the parking lots insanely packed? Does anyone care about their job anymore?... — read more 

Does anyone know or heard any rumors when the Hiring Freeze will be lifted? Or will it ever be lifted for Support Center?

New leaders will come up with a aligned strategy to transform this organization. That also means coming up metrics that can be measured consistently and monitored. Next six months are critical for the company. I assume there might be further... — read more 

Any rumors/thoughts on what will be covered? Other than layoffs and restructuring, any significant announcements anticipated?

Looks like the February layoffs are complete & a reorg being announced this week in the TH. Any reliable info on if we’ll see another round of layoffs in 2026? Timing? What’s everyone hearing?

I'm wondering if there's a way to predict if you're on the list or not. Such as less work, avoidant manager, things like that.

Just to check once again, no more layoffs?

So when is the next bo-b going to be dropped and announce for us that survived? Where are we going to be? Seems to be taking forever.

Does anybody know what the “Grand Total” of lay offs was for the week? Not including the DPRs and such in the field. Just the Support office people this week?

Unless they spring some nasty surprise at the last moment. I don't even like my job, but I'm still relieved. I'm juggling so much in life right now that losing this job would probably bring it all crashing down. I imagine most of you are in the same... — read more

We now have to have security clearances to work for Sycamore. Every answer is shrouded in either secrecy or extremely vague. Every day we get after hours invites to either get laid off or learn about your our org that go out at 6pm. WTF? Do they... — read more 

Hearing that laid off employees can reapply to positions after the dust settles and the re-org is done?

30-35% from what I hear, mostly those with over 5 years service. OP: @d1+1kh7va1kv Why go after trained and experienced people in Corporate? Wouldn’t it be logical to cut newcomers first?

I don't know how we're supposed to manage that much stress.
