Layoff rumors need to stop
No rumors have come true. So no more please.
Are the layoffs next week going to be across the board?
Judging by the rumors, all orgs could be affected. Does anyone have any concrete details?
What positions were effected today?
I'm hearing some HCS were laid off today. Loads of DM. Any other roles? Biggest surprise for me was the HCS, we can't keep our pharmacy open, but they fired the pharmacists? Our HCS used to be my pharmacy manager and she was one of the best... — read more
Any news from CA?
Any updates from the west coast?
BRING BACK ANHORN!
Need em back.
How are they notifying people?
For those who got the layoff news: how did it come? Was it a sudden calendar invite for a one-on-one, or an email, or something else? Trying to know what to watch for.
Can DMs become SMs instead of being laid off?
Is the company interested in trying to keep any District Managers that might want to take a demotion to Store Manager? This would allow the company to keep experienced people and get rid of less qualified people, no? I am just wondering if the fact... — read more
Restructuring and Perspective
Sometimes the people who get laid off are actually the winners. It’s a reminder that career growth and promotions aren’t always about performance, results, or dedication — sometimes it’s about timing, circumstances, or politics you can’t... — read more
Support Center Layoffs Week of 2/8
Just overheard 2 HR people talking that layoffs are next week.
How are they notifying people?
For those who got the layoff news: how did it come? Was it a sudden calendar invite for a one-on-one, or an email, or something else? Trying to know what to watch for.
Will Centralized Services be mostly safe?
That's what I'm hearing about the restructuring and layoffs next week. Can anyone confirm?
Any updates on layoffs tied to the restructuring?
Does anyone have a clue what we can expect? My guess, or maybe just my hope, is not a major round, but some scattered layoffs to fit the new org structure.
Field structure changes
What are the field structure changes I’m hearing about?
Support office Layoffs & Restructure
Any info on when the fun will begin?
All CMs and DMMs were just let go in a meeting at Corporate! It’s a bloodbath!
Run, hide, we are all doomed!
I wish we knew what they are planning
Everyone around me is on edge with all the layoff rumors.
Idea into Sycamore's plan with Boots, Care, and shield?
So with Boots being the biggest money maker for them, I heard rumors that they were going to maybe IPO Boots? What do you think (hypothetically) the plan would be for the other two? Since these 3 would be where Sycamore can extract value from, I... — read more
Not enough seats in support office
Chaos today in the support office as there are almost no seats left and still many more to come from opo. So either there’s going to be layoffs or someone needs to learn to do math.
Visited store today, people seem scared
Hope CEO reassures them not to fear about their jobs and give them the holidays back. Take care of people and they will take care of business. Say nice motivating words, it will energize them. Please, I beg.
More micromanaging, higher expectations...No incentive
Imagine expecting low salary Store Managers to drive these changes with broken equipment at the end of it's life cycle, angry employees on the heels of a 2% raise in November, and non stop harassment and threats about numbers/store condition/customer... — read more
Getting laid off might be a relief
I'd be happy to finally put this sh-t show in the rearview mirror.
Operations call 1/27
Sycamore does it differently. Tomorrows operations call will reveal the new structure
No move on hold, you are expected to go to Deerfield
Nothing like this is announced. You are expected to go to Deerfield on Monday.
VPs Getting Cut?
Has anyone heard rumors about which VPs are going to get cut? If so, that will give hints about what corporate teams are in danger.
Are we still looking at layoffs any time from now until March?
It would be great to know more. The uncertainty and anticipation are ten times worse than just losing your job today.
Move is On Hold!!
This is a horrible sign for corporate staff! I have a strong feeling they plan to do mass layoffs prior to 2/2 and that's why they halted the move so suddenly. Why they didn't figure this out sooner is beyond me. Not much shocks me here though.
tic.....tic.....tic..........
Word is new seating assignments have been announced in Deerfield support office. But that the areas assignments for the most part aren't big enough to accommodate all the team members. Also, that the parking lot will be 325-350'ish spots short once... — read more

Not many visitors any more, does anyone know why?

Hoping no layoffs coming!!!
Layoffs are not going to come after so many people voluntarily leaving. It is good as it won’t affect people in bad way. It is better to go find a job that pays a bit less instead of getting a layoff. If they offered, 5K pay cut for working from... — read more
