More bad news for Home Interiors & Gifts Inc. The home goods company, which has been undergoing a lot of hardship lately announced that they will have to do another round of job cutting.

Home Interiors & Gifts recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and hired a new executive team to help the company re-build and reorganize. Unfortunately, the process has not been as easy and smooth as they might have hoped.

Just last week the company announced that they will eliminate 83 night jobs at its Carrollton warehouse on July 31 and this week announced that an additional 24 jobs will be cut as well.

In a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission, the company said that rather than laying off night workers, they will have the opportunity to move to the day shift. For those unable to switch, they will have to start looking for new jobs by the end of July.

The company released a statement about its new reorganization attempts saying, “we anticipate that additional separations will occur; however, we do not currently know the date(s) on which these separations will occur.”

Just last month, Home Interior had to lay off over 100 workers when it closed Dallas Woodcraft Co, the direct sales company’s furniture subsidiary.

Last month, direct sales veteran, Robin Crossman, took the helm of the failing company, and hopefully this shuffling of jobs and cutting the night shifts are all part of the plan. The company has been struggling for some time and this is not the kind of news that I think they would want to hear just a month after the appointment of their new savior.
