Walgreens lays off 646 workers Walgreens is reducing its workforce in Florida and Connecticut by nearly 650 workers combined.

Layoffs are expected to occur on or by May 17.

"With a small business, every day it's something different; there's always something changing and we can't predict it. With Veryable, we can be flexible." -Anh Trousdale (Co-Founder) When PhoLicious, a manufacturer and distributor of authentic Pho secured launches with Walmart and Sam's Club, the opportunity was clear but the path to delivering was not... Sick of the inefficiencies and restrictive nature of working with staffing agencies and unwilling to hire for a potential one-time order, PhoLicious began leveraging Veryable to build a flexible extension of their full-time workforce.
