Gaylord Entertainment to Lay Off 350

Nashville-based Gaylord Entertainment informed its employees yesterday that it will lay off 350 positions throughout the company, about 3.5% of its total work force. About 1,700 are employed at Gaylord Palms.

Some 180 positions in Nashville will be cut from the company’s corporate headquarters, Opryland Hotel and area attractions.

CEO Colin Reed said cutting staff, freezing salaries and curtailing travel would be part of the company’s cost cutting measures.

Gaylord Entertainment operates resort hotels in Nashville, Kissimmee, Dallas and Washington, DC.

Gaylord also operates the Grand Ole Opry, WSM Radio, and licensing & merchandising for Hee Haw, a country music/variety TV show.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
