We hardly watch QVC anymore, let alone QVC2. But last we had it on as background noise as we caught up with our newspaper reading.

SO we heard veteran host Leah Williams say that she was doing the last live broadcast on QVC2. She didn't really explain what would be airing there, we just assumed it would be reruns off QVC.

When we told our friend Ann about that today, she immediately said that means layoffs are coming. Surprisingly, that thought hadn't even crosses my mind. But she was right.

Tonight a former QVC employee posted an emotional message on Facebook saying that there had been major layoffs at the network today.

"My heart is breaking," the post said. "MY QVC family is being torn to shreds. Please know it will not be the same without you there! Know this as well, when the dust settles and the tears dry out, what happens next will be amazing."

No names were mentioned or names were given. But there were several responses to the post.

"My heart is broken," one woman posted.

"It's impossible for me to keep it together today ... I feel devastated," another wrote.

"Horrible, I am in shock," said another.

"My heart is sad and broken for so many that are now taking a blow from a company they helped build," wrote another. "Praying for better days ahead fo each and every one of you."

As someone who has been laid off twice, and out of work for two years after the first pink slip during the Great Recession, we feel for you all.
