Hanesbrands (NYSE:HBI) layoffs have the U.S. clothing company cutting an unknown number of jobs at its corporate headquarters.
These job cuts come as Hanesbrands seeks to navigate the current economic market. Inflation has been weighing on companies and consumers alike. As such, it’s no surprise that layoffs are affecting the clothing company as consumers reduce spending.
While there are no hard details on the Hanesbrands layoffs, that may change in the coming week. Hanesbrands is set to release its latest earnings report on Feb. 2, 2023. It’s possible that the company will include more insight into the job cuts at that time.
Kirk Saville, a spokesman for Hanesbrands, told the Winston-Salem Journal the following about the layoffs:
“We continue to operate in a very challenging environment, and we must focus on controlling costs as we continue to execute our Full Potential plan […] As a result, we made the difficult decision to eliminate a number of positions across our company. These are valued associates, and we thank them for their many contributions to HanesBrands.”
