Omaha, Nebraska-based Hayneedle, an online furnishing and specialty decor retailer now owned by Walmart, has announced that it would be closing its Omaha corporate headquarters and laying off more than 200 employees and transitioning approximately 100 employees to the company’s nearby customer care call center located in Chalco, Nebraska. The decision was driven by the parent corporations desire to cut costs by consolidating duplicate business functions. The reduction in force comes after Hayneedle’s restructuring and cost containment efforts resulted in the layoff of 239 corporate and call center employees in May, 2019.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
