Ingram Micro Latest in Channel to Cut Workers

Ingram Micro has confirmed layoffs impacting a “small fraction” of its workforce. It already shed hundreds of workers last year. 

Among the layoffs are 60 employees who are losing their jobs as Ingram Micro shuts down its facility in O’Fallon, Missouri. A WARN notice filed with the Missouri Office of Workforce Development confirms the layoffs and facility shuttering.

Ingram Micro sent us the following statement:

“Ingram Micro has implemented a targeted reduction in force. This move was done to better align our resources, and to improve efficiency and utilization of our processing facilities. Although this decision impacted a small fraction of our workforce, we recognize the significance of these changes to those directly affected and will support them throughout this transition.”

Chatter on TheLayoff.com was minimal. However, one employee confirmed they were among those pink-slipped in Missouri. And another had this to say about the layoffs:

“They didn’t specify how many, made it sound like less than last time and that the layoffs happened to mostly ‘smaller’ roles except ‘one big one.’”
