Hey everyone, reading through the recent news about potential layoffs and store closures. I'm based in Seattle and work at one of the corporate offices, not a store. Has anyone heard anything more specific about roles at HQ being affected? I know some articles mention Seattle, but it's vague. My department has been eerily quiet lately, and there's a general sense of unease. Performance reviews just wrapped up, and it felt a bit more intense than usual. Curious if anyone has insider info or similar feelings about the corporate side of things. Trying not to panic, but the uncertainty is stressful.

I've heard some chatter too, though nothing concrete. The performance review timing is definitely adding to the anxiety. It's tough when you feel that underlying tension and can't get a clear picture of what's happening. Hopefully, we'll get some official communication soon to put minds at ease, or at least provide some direction.

Yeah, the vagueness is the worst part. It's hard to focus on work when you're worried about job security. Performance reviews always have some pressure, but it sounds like this year was on another level. I'm keeping an eye out for any updates myself. Fingers crossed it's nothing too drastic for HQ.
