Hotel giant Marriott has begun to sack and offer early-retirement to many of its long-serving workers.
The sackings are being presented as a "restructure for efficiency", travel news portal Skift reports.
Marriott is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, and the state has posted a WARN (Work Adjustment and Retraining) notice, citing an initial 833 layoffs by Marriott.
The company had recently said it was considering shedding about 5,000 workers.
Certainly something to think about when you decide to book your next hotel stay.
A company spokesperson declined to say how many people were laid off or to answer questions about Skift’s reporting. But they did provide a statement:
“Earlier this year, we began a strategic review of all aspects of Marriott International’s business across geographies to enhance our enterprise-wide effectiveness and discussed this initiative on our Q3 earnings call,” the spokesperson said.
“While always difficult, these job reductions at our corporate and continent offices will reshape the way we work and are expected to be largely in place in Q1 2025.”
