The layoff would affect hundreds of jobs across Best Buy’s U.S. stores, the report said, adding that the laid off employees could, however, reapply for open positions within the company or receive severance.

“As we shared last month, we’re evolving our stores and the experiences we offer to better reflect the changes in customer shopping behavior, as well as how we organize our teams,” Best Buy said.
As of January 2023, Best Buy had more than 90,000 employees in the United States and Canada, including about 58% full-time employees, 32% part-time workers and 10% seasonal staff.
