Anyone else blindsided by the Bloomingdale site news?

I’ve been at the Bloomingdale facility for five years, and the atmosphere on the floor today was absolute hell. Leadership dropped the hammer on the 63 of us completely out of nowhere. We had a town hall last week where everything seemed 'business as usual,' then suddenly HR is sitting at desks with folders ready to go. No one saw this coming, especially with how hard we’ve been grinding to hit those quarterly production targets. They kept talking about 'operational efficiency' and 'consolidating footprint,' but it feels like they’re just shuffling assets to inflate the margins for the shareholders while we’re left scrambling for new jobs in a trash market. Has anyone heard if they are actually honoring the retention bonuses for those kept on for the transition, or is that going out the window too? Trying to figure out my next move before the official shutter date hits.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. It is completely gut-wrenching to work your tail off meeting every production goal only to be treated like a line item on a spreadsheet. That kind of bait-and-switch from management is cowardly, and having HR waiting with folders shows they had no intention of being transparent with you guys. Take care of yourself and your coworkers during this transition; you all deserved much better than that absolute blindside after five years of loyalty.
