Well such an interesting Townhall. SG was good, the topics good. But no really ability to ask any questions. The one we all wanted to know is the 3 day in the office in HDC and the 4-5 day 2F rumor.
How to trust the New CTO
Wow. He talks about transparency and then hires behind AT back. SG has lost so much trust by going that way. Don't talk about honesty, transparency and trust and do this. Hey GTS LT watch your backs as SG will not tell you. You will be replaced and... — read more

Gap Layoffs 2024
Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Gap layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Thoughts on the new CEO?
He's had a smash hit at Mattel in Barbie, so that's a positive, but I have to wonder, why leave a company when on the top for this place? I highly doubt that he can achieve the same kind of turnaround he did with Barbie with anything here. I'm... — read more

Why has no permanent CEO been chosen?
I thought when Gap reported Q1 earnings, they would announce a new CEO. Exec team said they were very close to choosing a candidate several months ago. Makes me wonder what is going on with the company. The longer they wait, the worse it is for Gap's... — read more

Open roles and promotions during lay offs
They just sent out the org chart and after the layout there are so many open roles. Not to mention merchant promotions. It’s disgusting, they should have tried to move people into open roles, rather than just let them go.
Positions layed off
What positions were laid off????
Good or bad employee, it doesn't matter to Gap
When I saw which people were cut I was really disappointed. A colleague who was a role model employee lost his job……What kind of message does that send to us who are still here? Obviously, hard work isn't the key to success here.
How many people lost their jobs this week?
Anyone willing to share what areas and how many people (approximately) lost their jobs? Managers aren't telling us much.
This is nerve wracking!!!
The way this is being done is inhumane. Shame on everybody involved!
Can somebody provide an update?
What's going on? Has everybody been notified already? Or will it continue tomorrow?

GAP just Laid off
Just heard that GAP's TA team has faced some layoffs. They have been today today and given 2 weeks notice. Don't know how many
Any day now
With Ye pulling out on Gap, an ousted CEO, a stock price hovering at $9, employees that refuse to return to the office, they are left with a stale brand. Layoffs are imminent in the next month. Old Navy & Athleta rumored to be sold.
Whew!!!
At least Gap fired one of its toxic directors in Stores Systems for some repeated bullying of his own team. Not enough unfortunately to combat my ever shrinking faith in the CEO.
