Just saw the GeekWire article about more layoffs coming on August 21st, specifically mentioning the Seattle corporate offices. They're not giving exact numbers in the article, just saying it's a continuation of restructuring. This really sucks. I thought we were past the worst of it after the last few rounds, but apparently not. Feels like they're just chipping away at the company bit by bit. Anyone know if this is tied to the store closures mentioned in other news? Seems like corporate is being hit hard too. Just want to know if anyone has heard anything more specific about the roles or teams affected.

This is really disheartening to hear. The ongoing restructuring feels like a constant cloud hanging over everyone, and the lack of specifics only adds to the anxiety. It's tough to see talented people affected repeatedly. Hopefully, this phase of the restructuring brings some clarity and stability soon, and it's not just a slow bleed. Fingers crossed that the store closures aren't directly linked to these corporate changes in a way that further destabilizes things for employees on the ground.
