Job cuts, severance and restructuring
None of Fastenal’s annual reports for 2023 to 2025 describes a layoff, workforce reduction or restructuring.
Fastenal has filed no restructuring notice (Form 8-K, Item 2.05) since 2016. Companies file one only for a cut they judge material, so many announced layoffs never appear as one. This page shows what the company reported to the SEC, not news reports or state layoff notices.
