Thread regarding Wayfair Inc. layoffs

Today was first round... Two more to go...

Today was first round. Two more rounds scheduled before end of fiscal year.
Original prediction of 1,000+ made still stands - this would be company-wide.
Some team meetings were to inform everyone they still had their jobs, others were to inform entire teams hey were laid off and/or being re-distributed throughout - Ex. Freight
Curios to see how this continues to play out after fourth quarter earnings report on Feb. 28.

There will be 50 more in Talent Acquisition laid off in June and 35 more in TA being laid off in late October.

I swear on this. If you are in recruiting the roles will be L4 and below that will be laid off.

Why? Greater focus and reliance on agencies and RPO services will be the focus for most IT/Engineering and other areas recruiting.

I swear on this.

Just clarifying that while L1-L3 was greatly impacted I do think there were some upper levels cut too, I was working with an L6 on a project who is now gone

Hopefully the L4+ are next. They’re the ones who should’ve been cut to begin with. Leadership is so unqualified...
