Target-owned delivery company Shipt has laid off more than 3 percent of its workforce and closed many open positions, reports 6WBRC in Birmingham, Alabama, where the company is based.
"As we evaluated the promising future of the company, we carefully reviewed the needs of our business and our team. Our business and industry have changed dramatically in the past few years, and to keep Shipt competitive and healthy, we ultimately made the difficult decision to eliminate select positions across the organization. In addition, we closed many of our open positions,” said Molly Snyder, Shipt chief communications officers, in a statement.
“These decisions are never easy to make, and we have worked for months to do everything we could to avoid having to take this step. All impacted team members will have the opportunity to remain on payroll through November. Following that, they are being provided with comprehensive severance packages that include outplacement support and benefits continuation.” Full Story
