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
Hiring unfreeze?
Does anyone know or heard any rumors when the Hiring Freeze will be lifted? Or will it ever be lifted for Support Center?
What’s next?
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
2/17 Town Hall
Any rumors/thoughts on what will be covered? Other than layoffs and restructuring, any significant announcements anticipated?
When is the next round happening?
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?
Did you notice any signs before getting notified?
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.
No layoffs next week?
Just to check once again, no more layoffs?
District Realignments
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.
So how many was it?
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?
It seems I survived this round
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
Distribution Centers
Are they safe?
Top Secret Retail
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
Will positions be reopened or created?
Hearing that laid off employees can reapply to positions after the dust settles and the re-org is done?
Make it make sense
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?
Rumors are layoffs will continue throughout the month
I don't know how we're supposed to manage that much stress.
To the user that posted "I work on a very small, but mighty, team that supports FE on all matters of consequence"
Your comment is below. I wanted to tell you something and make sure you didn't miss it because I really appreciate your insight and hard work. I said, "You have very valuable insight. Thank you for helping the FE. How much longer does Walgreens... — read more
% of Corporate Laid Off
What’s your best guess? I heard 30% but that seems high.
Why can't you accept another job while on Admin Leave?
Unless you land a big position at a big firm, how will they find out? An opportunity can come before the 60 days, and you would be forced to pass to hold out for the severance.
Count of people go got layoff
Like the post if you got a layoff. So we can get a count of impacted people.
Was anybody offered another position?
Many of our corporate teams were laid off, but I am hearing some of those who were kept will be placed into other roles? Within my department, senior managers and below are all in the dark right now. So who is deciding to save who?
Sycamore Tricks...don't be a fool and fall for it
Store Manager/RXM bonus this year is 75% based on "company numbers" that this private company controls and self reports. Only 25% of the bonus is based on your store or pharmacy. Do you trust Sycamore? Have they been transparent and... — read more
So, is it over or not?
Should we expect more tomorrow? I'm completely confused. All I hear are contradicting rumors.
AP?
Where are the cuts to this useless department? Rumors swirling but seems all talk no show Anyone have info?
Any layoffs in Employee Relations Dept
Has there been any way off to the Employee Relations team this week?
Retained employees
For anyone who was retained, are you having a hard time focusing this week? Our team was hit pretty hard and it's hard to focus during meetings where you know certain people should be there. Yes, some of those that were let go were my friends, but it... — read more
Job market is not that bad
I know people are panicking right about now, but I've been preparing for this for a few months and submitting applications. I got 3-4 interviews per month and I got two offers in that time. Granted, the pay wasn't high enough to get me to say yes... — read more
Layoff request?
Is it weird that I'd like to be laid off? I am burnt out and was thinking of quitting anyway. What can I do to get laid off while they still offer severance?
I broke the news to my own boss I was laid off
Just in case anyone is wondering how organized this project is. But not to fear -- the packet confidently tells me I can ask my boss about any questions I have. I have every confidence she will be a great resource to me. I wonder what they called... — read more
Games being played..........
The 2 months admin leave is given as Walgreens did not post a WARN notice. after the admin leave. Shouldn't be allowed.
Did anyone get email today eve?

Reporting structure changing for stores
RXM no longer reports to store manager as of March 1. RXM will report directly to District Pharmacy Supervisor (performance, discipline, and evaluation/coaching all owned by DPS). Dotted line reporting means the MGR and RXM are "true partners" as... — read more
You can thank the Board of DIrectors and that last CEO for selling to these Piranha's
They are the worst business has had to offer. That last CEO who shall not even be named..HAS NO SHAME.
Unexpected 1:1
It's in 30 minutes. Am I as good as gone? Is this how they're notifying people? Is there any chance it could be something else?
At least there's still severance
I'm not going to be surprised if in the future that's no longer an option. After all, it's not mandated by law, so I can definitely see this leadership deciding it's no longer "in the company's best interest" to keep paying it.
How many people?
Everyone's talking about big numbers. My team hasn't been hit yet, but that doesn't mean it's safe tomorrow. Judging by the rumors and reports, it definitely looks bad. I'm afraid our worst predictions are coming true.
We lost three people on our team
How we'll continue to function properly after this is beyond me. Nobody thinks about the future, they just care about what they can save right now.
Age seems to be a factor
Why are most of the affected folks 40 and above? I'm yet to see somebody in their 20s or 30s affected, at least for now.
