Office Depot
Office Depot’s reorganization plan, which was first announced last spring, will be extended until 2021. The office supply company plans to close an undetermined number of locations and lay off around 13,000 people by 2023. The plans are part of the company’s ongoing cost-cutting measures as it converts from a traditional store to an IT services provider, according to sources.
