Anyone else seeing changes in store operations?

Been with Ulta for a few years now, and honestly, things feel different. Between the recent WARN notice for the Grand Rapids location and the general atmosphere, it's hard not to feel uneasy. My store manager is usually pretty open, but even they seem cagey when we ask about future plans or staffing. We've also seen a noticeable dip in promotional support and a push for efficiency that feels like it's squeezing us thin. Is this just my perception, or are other stores experiencing similar operational shifts and a general sense of uncertainty? Curious to hear what others are observing, especially in light of the layoffs.

I've noticed some shifts too, definitely feeling a bit of that 'efficiency' push. Seems like more pressure on sales goals with less back-end support sometimes. It's a tough balance to strike between customer experience and corporate targets. Hoping things stabilize soon.

Yeah, the Grand Rapids WARN notice definitely set a concerning tone. It's hard to ignore when you hear about potential layoffs or changes. The vibe can definitely feel a bit tense when leadership seems hesitant to share information. Fingers crossed it's just a temporary adjustment period.
