Bloomberg reported Best Buy cut workers in customer care, in-home field teams, and Geek Squad after earlier restructuring tied to shifting resources toward AI-powered support and virtual assistant tooling.
Best Buy Co. (NYSE:BBY) is reducing its workforce across multiple departments... The job cuts include members of the Geek Squad... Corie Barry said part of the restructuring aimed to reallocate resources to areas such as artificial intelligence.
Small/unspecified count, but the Bloomberg-backed reporting plus Best Buy's earlier AI reallocation statements make this a cleaner edge-case than many weaker retail names.
