West Chester, Pennsylvania-based Qurate Retail Group, the parent of QVC, the iconic home shopping channel offering general merchandise, has announced the closure of its Rocky Mount distribution center located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and a mass layoff of all personnel.
The layoff will impact 1,953 employees and is scheduled to commence on February 1, 2022, with all separations accomplished by mid-2022
The decision was driven by massive fire and water damage to the majority of the 1.2 million-square-foot structure in December 2021. One employee perished in the fire. No decision has been made regarding the site.
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?
