In 2020, under the influence of the epidemic, all major companies experienced operational difficulties. In addition to some small companies, some large enterprises also said that they would lay off employees in order to cut costs and reduce economic pressure. Victoria's Secret's parent company has previously announced that it will lay off 15%, so who will be laid off? The core personnel will definitely not, so it is nothing more than some grassroots personnel, such as the sales staff of offline stores, who are more likely to be dismissed.

Before the outbreak, the business trend of Victoria's Secret Company declined. In case of an epidemic, offline stores were basically closed during the epidemic, which also led to the loss of a large part of economic resources of Victoria's Secret Company. In the absence of corresponding economic sources, Victoria's Secret can only reduce the economic pressure by reducing the corresponding costs. One way is to lay off employees. Because many offline stores are closed and can't operate normally, the employees in these stores are unemployed, and in the process of unemployment, Victoria's Secret Company still needs to pay wages normally, so such personnel are inevitably in the ranks of layoffs. It did not make the company get the corresponding income, but also increased the labor cost of the enterprise. As an enterprise, this situation will definitely be avoided.

In my opinion, in fact, Victoria's secret parent company may have had the idea of layoffs before in order to reduce the cost and economic pressure of the enterprise. It was only because of the epidemic that this decision was implemented in advance. It is understandable for enterprises to reduce costs after receiving the impact of the epidemic, but it is more important to think about how to make the enterprise economy recover. Since offline mode doesn't work, can online mode be adopted?

In fact, compared with offline mode, online mode is preferable in this environment. It can not only solve the business situation of the enterprise, but also avoid the gathering of personnel. Why not?
