Arbonne International laid off 95 workers Wednesday from a sprawling distribution facility just off Interstate 65.
The company, which sells skin care products, angered former employees and left current workers worried that their jobs will be next to go.
The company cited current economic conditions as the reason for the layoffs.
“They said that there wasn’t enough business, not enough work to keep us all busy,” said Amber Crossley, who lost her job.
“We have made all reasonable efforts to treat the departing employees fairly, and wish them well,” read part of a statement from a corporate representative. “The Arbonne business remains strong, and we are confident that our team in Greenwood will continue to make solid contributions to our business.”
Some former employees said they were upset with the timing of the layoffs and said that they had no warning.
“Only thing I can do is go to the unemployment office, get hold of temp agencies and try to find another job,” said Rick Jewell.
