The parent company of Rubbermaid, Sharpie and Yankee Candle announced on Monday, Dec. 1 that it will lay off 900 people from its global workforce, making it the latest company to announce job cuts.
Newell Brands said in a news release that the roughly 10% cut in its professional and clerical employees will have “limited impact on manufacturing or supply chain operations.” Layoffs in the U.S. are set to occur in December, with international cuts coming next year.
