Blue Apron said on Wednesday that it was cutting 6 percent of its staff — totaling hundreds of jobs — as the meal-kit company attempts to regain its footing after a turbulent first few months as a public company.

In a letter to employees, CEO Matt Salzberg wrote: “The actions that we took today flowed from the roadmapping and reprioritization exercise that we recently undertook. As part of that work, we identified the need to reduce some roles, open others, and streamline decision making for greater accountability. Wherever possible, we sought to fill new roles with existing employees.”
