今早兩條消息映入我的眼簾:
1. Macy's gives 1-week notice to 2000+ employees, including 13% corporate staff as part of the 2,350 positions beling eliminated, and around 82 management positions will be impacted.
2. Wayfair makes deep cuts to workforce in move to accelerate profitability, cutting 1,650 more jobs as it looks to bring its workforce in line with its cost structure. In January 2023, Wayfair cut 10% of its global workforce, about 1,700 positions. Company CEO mentioned Wayfair is looking at a few basic principles, and eliminating excess senior management is one of the principles.
如果說Macy's 是傳統零售行業,受電商影響銷售和盈利下降,裁員情有可原的話,那麽Wayfair 這樣的電商也在大幅裁員,加之我前天提到另一家零售企業也在裁買手職位,看來美國經濟泡沫太大,企業都在擠泡沫。
無論是孩子選擇專業職業,還是各位投股投房產,2024年都要謹慎從事。
