Video game retail chain GameStop has reportedly laid off over 50 regional leaders in an effort to restructure the organization following a failure to sell the company.
An email from GameStop corporate headquarters sent to store managers was leaked on Twitter that seemingly confirmed the layoffs. Over 50 regional district field leaders, human resource, and loss prevention leaders were affected by the layoffs.
The email says that the layoffs are a result of a new “realignment” strategy. “This realignment results in an expanded size of GameStop’s regions and districts, therefore reducing the number of field leaders required to run the organization,” the GameStop email says.
