EU layoff announced

Tech from Germany here. I’ve got email about the RIF. It states my role isn’t impacted. There are no details. Rumors were true.

The news told us first.

I am currently (until tomorrow) an employee of Wayfair. I found out about the layoff through the news and social media. So sad!

It wouldn't surprise me at all

I don't pay much attention to rumors because some people just like to create panic. On the other hand, there are not many arguments to make a strong claim that there will be no cuts, right? The company has been doing badly for a long time, so... — read more

Next RIF is January 20th

They have already started the process, this will be global with the exception of India. Technology will be less affected, mainly marketing and customer service this time around. It will be a tough January.

I already have two offers

When the word of layoffs first got out I decided I didn't want to stay here much longer whether my name was on the list or not. I ended up not being affected but I continued submitting applications and interviewing and now I have two offers. I'm... — read more

At least there's decent media coverage

I have found dozens of articles on the latest layoffs, including from some of the major media names. I know it doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things, but who knows? If there's a lot of negative publicity, maybe the ELT will think twice... — read more

Question about layoffs

Considering that most of the orgs were impacted yesterday, does that mean that layoffs are done? It would be nice to know that all employees who were impacted have already been notified. Or do I have a reason to worry about next week and more... — read more 

EU Layoffs

Meeting arranged on day off for before working day starts, looking like layoffs coming to remote workers first

Utah pay increases

Why are employees in Utah getting a cost of living increase and other states aren’t? This seems really unfair. Last year only Utah and Maine got the cost of living increases

Wayfair has lost 24% of their customers

https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/04/business/wayfair-stock-shopping-furniture/index.html Story says Wayfair is struggling, how do you think this is going to impact the workforce?

Layoffs Coming

It sounds like layoffs are expected around Q2 announcements. I am hearing 10% across the board. Be prepared as the housing market decline will be a struggle for W in the coming months!

Whats going on?

My manager got moved to an hourly position taking phone calls, this is a worrying sign. It wasnt just her but it was multiple customer service managers. Im very concerned about the future. Anyone got any insight into what is going on?

When will it start???

I keep hearing that layoffs are coming but nobody says when. I've been on pins and needles for days now. I wish the company was more transparent about the whole thing instead of having to try and find out on the internet and hope somebody who knows... — read more

It's going to be ugly

A new tech center in India does not send good signals to the US based folks. This will save $400M but what about process, quality, itd. It'll be hard. I would not be surprised if people start to flee soon.

Layoffs coming

Anyone know what the severance packages will be like?

Have an upcoming interview. Should I run?

After reading the posts on here, I'm second guessing my decision to apply. Is management an issue across the board or would you say it's in pockets of the company?
