by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Cosmetics maker Avon Products Inc said it would cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company struggles to return to profit.
The direct seller of cosmetics, which has posted losses in five of the past six quarters, had about 36,700 employees, including 4,300 in the United States, at the end of December, according to its latest annual filing.
Avon will take a pretax charge of $45 million-$50 million, of which $40 million is expected to be recorded in the current quarter ending June, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The job cuts and other restructuring efforts are expected to result in annual savings of about $50 million to $55 million, Avon said.
The company is struggling to turn around its fortunes after a host of problems in key markets such as Russia, Latin America and the United States hurt profits.
Avon’s net loss widened to $168.4 million, or 38 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31 from $13.7 million, or 3 cents per share, a year earlier.
Sales in North America fell 22 percent in the quarter as its products faced competition from inexpensive beauty items at drugstores or from chains such as Sephora.

by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Danielle Marie Green, a MonaVie distributor, who has stated on her website that the business gave her a chance to stay home to fulfill her passion of being with her horses, has recently been charged with shooting her ex-husband 10 times and then stuffing his body in a padlocked box.
During a fight in their bedroom, Green shot him five times, reloaded the gun and fired five more shots, cops said.
The next day, May 27, Green called her truck driving ex’s boss to say he’d been killed in a freak accident involving her German shepherd, cops told the newspaper.
The trailer where she lived reeked of bleach on the day police arrived at the property, cops said.
A search of her cell phone suggested Green may have planned the brutal killing, they said.
In the weeks before, she’d Googled whether shooting someone in the head with a .38 caliber would be “lights out or possibly survive” and the phrase “38 gunshot going straight thru person’s head,” the newspaper reported.
Green was charged with murder Tuesday and was being held without bond at the Switzerland County Jail.
