Irving, Texas-based The Michaels, an arts and crafts retailer for crafters and hobbyists, has announced that the company plans to lay off 146 employees in their Strongville, Ohio distribution and support center on July 18, 2020. The layoffs will affect 69 employees in the distribution center and 77 in support operations.
According to a company spokesperson," Due to the changing needs of our company coupled with a challenging business environment, we have decided to close our Darice wholesale operations in Ohio. We appreciate the many contributions made by the Darice team members and we will help them through this transition. Many of those team members will continue to service Darice customers over the next several months before we wind down operations."
In addition to the July 2020 layoffs, the company anticipates additional layoffs in the coming months, possibly in September 2020, October 2020, and February 2021.
The layoffs follow a February layoff of 77 employees at the company's Lamrite West subsidiary.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
