Hudson's Bay reportedly laying off more than 600 employees
Hudson’s Bay Co. is laying off more than 600 workers across Canada, according to a Canadian Press report.
The store says the decision to lay off hundreds of employees as the COVID-19 pandemic wears on was an incredibly tough one.
A Bay spokesperson wouldn’t confirm the number to Daily Hive, but said the layoffs were necessary because of government-mandated store closures during the pandemic.
