Pleasant Grove, Utah-based doTerra, a multi-level marketing company selling essential oils and other natural wellness products, has announced a 7% reduction in force as part of a continuing restructuring and cost containment initiative.
The reduction in force will impact 290 employees
According to a company statement, “This restructuring includes global workforce reductions by approximately seven percent, a decision made after careful consideration of its profound impact on affected employees, who will receive comprehensive support packages, including severance benefits, outplacement services, and extended healthcare benefits.
According to employees, "Laid-off employees signed separation agreements that included confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses — a practice the National Labor Relations Board banned last year but still persists. Such clauses have historically prevented employees from speaking out after being laid off and disclosing any details about workplace conditions."
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
