Jenny Craig reportedly warned employees this week of sweeping layoffs at the company and urged some to start looking for new jobs as it prepares to shut down its brick-and-mortar weight-loss centers across the country.
NBC News obtained a letter dated Tuesday titled "Jenny Craig Company Transition FAQs," which the company sent out to some workers informing them it would be "winding down physical operations" and "has been going through a sales process for the last couple of months."

According to the outlet, the document stated, "While we had to issue Warn Notices specifically for sites where we had more than 50 people potentially impacted, this will likely impact all employees in some manner."
"We do not know the exact employees/groups whom will be impacted, and if any employees may be retained," it continued. "As a result, we would suggest that you anticipate that your employment may be impacted and begin to seek other employment."
