Wayfair, the online home goods retailer, announced today it was laying off close to 900 employees as a way to reprioritize investment needs and meet the company’s current needs. This comes after the company announced a hiring freeze back in May.
The layoffs represent close to 5% of the company’s global workforce and 10% of its corporate team, according to SEC filings. 400 jobs are being cut in Boston, at the company’s HQ.
