GameStop is closing hundreds of U.S. stores in early 2026 as part of a cost-cutting strategy to pivot from physical retail to digital and collectibles amid declining sales. CEO Ryan Cohen's $35 billion incentive fuels criticism, with employees facing abrupt layoffs. This reflects broader gaming industry shifts toward online dominance.

What's the latest on location strategy? They forced hundreds of people to uproot their lives and move to a hub in 2025. Has anyone heard of anyone being let go after they moved? I'm still seeing many people shown as being in non hub locations in workday. Are they scheduled to relocate this year or somehow they got an exception to stay where they are?

Working in the city can be very expensive. I’d rather drive. Anyone else going to the Long Island facility? How many work out of there? Is there room for one more?

columbus office, tick tock

... but, you better be within 20 miles of your designated work location! Location Proximity testing on the way (for YOUR safety of course). Stay a few days with mom out of state, but work as normal... yeah no.

Read about it.

I am seeing Principal Positions in Austin, TX. Is it still a mini hub?

Do we see any locations in Florida as hubs. I am in Orlando and looking around at other locations and trying to understand if I am in a hub here in Orlando

If I were to transfer from a higher cost location like NY to a lower one like Charlotte or Tampa , would my pay be lower for the exact same role? And has anyone ever transferred in the US and dealt with the HR paperwork? Seems like a headache

People needs to be ready to choose your parking spot and office next year.

Because of constantly changing priorities at Disco.

The more I hear who got riffed the more it seems some locations took a much bigger hit…like Tulsa. Feel sorry for those that work there as they must be wondering what’s next

I’d like to hear from current/former employees. I have an opportunity for a move to Beaumont but I’m not familiar with the site at all. Any information shared would be greatly appreciated.

I know plenty of folks here who stay at CVS because there is nothing close by worth jumping to. I get it, the area makes it tricky to move on. I feel that pressure too, like I am glued in place. It wears on you when the job is rough but the options are thin.

I know for sure Southfield MI is officially a regional hub, but what other locations have received this designation?

Any updates on waves or when Consumer Lending (CL) will be sending notices for location strategy?

I’m in cell site real estate and my manager said we’re most likely safe. Manager heard nothing as far as RIFs go. Working from office 3x a week.

Does anyone else work at Hidden Ridge?

Have any stores been notified of being closed or converted to indirect? What about the ops support people? If these stores close down do they cut their ops person too?

There’s a rumour that Atleos will leave the new office building in New Belgrade and move to a village called Šimanovci. I hope this isn’t true, but still…

Is this really the second/third email in three months about core locations? Are they actually moving forward this time? It kind of feels like anyone not in a core location might eventually be at risk. Am I reading that wrong?

Anyone know how Bartlesville is fairing in the layoffs?

Let's talk about the possibility, consequences and impact, timing, possible stumbliing blocks, people, layoffs, pay, locations, etc.

Those impacted in Caleb’s org - were you told that it is strictly due to your location? Any other reasons given?

Hearing that even L1 Wireline OSPEs will be affected by KNLs and will have to consolidate to their KNL location. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

Layoff showing on WARNTracker for L3Harris. Notice Date:10/20/2025 Layoff Date:12/18/2025. Any information on what locations this is affecting?

Hearing this week TNL locations will be roled out for regional staff (ACE Wireline) affected folks will be asked if willing to move or report to TNL locations. If not....

Significant surplus coming to Caleb D org. All positions and locations currently under evaluation for surplus. All locations on the table. Being in a hub is not going to save you this time.

It looks like the CSBBO closures are part of the bank’s location strategy, focusing on consolidating some sites while expanding others.

What stands out is that for the past three days they have been sending messages like this:

Overtime available today, November 2, 2025. Overtime is available for Everyday Banking English and Spanish Bankers for the rest of today and tomorrow. Please log in, and your leader will report your worked hours to Resource Planning for processing.

If sites are closing, why push overtime right now? It almost seems like they are trying to meet short term goals before more news comes out.

Has anyone else heard which sites are next?

What is the address of the NC office in Charlotte?

Has anyone heard anything about the "location strategy" they mentioned at the end of July? The Tulsa office still hasn't heard anything and it's been 3 months.

heads up - if you are swiping in at an office that does not match your formal office location, they are definitely looking at you. Ask your manager to change your location (if possible) or start coming in to the correct location otherwise this is the excuse they’re looking for…

The original announcement was, Imperial Oil will lay off 900 staff from Calgary to reduce operating cost, and staff at the asset level will remain untouched. But, now I find out that they will layoff from Strathcona refinery too.

What happened? Did I miss understand the original announcement? Or, is it IOL management lying to us again?

Title says it all

Anyone hear anything about CL updates for location strategy? Myself and a few coworkers are still remote and nothing has been communicated yet?

Who else thinks it’s a bad idea? We are releasing skilled knowledgeable people, reducing possibilities to rotate to other areas, cannot serve all markets. Is this just an excuse to drive people to quit?

Req that was posted yesterday says “for all hires in Minneapolis, Virginia, Maryland, or Washington DC”. You will be required 4 days in office.

Hearing the new version of hub locations are TNLs, it's acronym but don't remember. Here ACE regional support staff, will have to relocate to TNL location or find another field facing position or leave company. Hear TNL list will be out later this year, impacted folks notified and decisions have to be made.

I’m remote, and honestly terrified we’ll be among the first on the chopping block. If anyone has credible information, please share. There are so many rumors flying around - mass layoffs, HQ-only cuts, even a possible private equity acquisition. It’s hard to tell what’s real, and even harder not to expect something bigger lurking around the corner that could hit us all hard.

is it by performance or bcuz of location, or just pure hatred?
