Upcoming layoffs
Do you think there will be another mass layoff this summer? If so, why?
Customer service
I do believe the majority of the customer service team, still working remote are now fully aware of the layoff looming. I’m so sorry to all my fellow co workers on frontline. These last few months have been completely stressful and miserable. — read more
Any news?
Anybody higher up know anything about upcoming layoffs for digital service teams?

This company is going down fast. With the IBR crushing us daily, JSL dropping the cust and letting us to the dirty work for them, increasing the metrics and making them unattainable and making them the permanent folks for chat/sms.....just WOW... — read more

Since now that all non-voice contacts have been migrated to offshore agents(who are doing horrible work) and a third party company, when are the flex agents going to be deemed redundant and let go?
Frontline issues
Can anyone with knowledge tell us what is going on with frontline? VTO daily, offering part time, legacy being deactivated, active holds on refunds and replacements that now never get worked. The IBR is still implemented on top agents. Are they... — read more

Shocking that layoffs don't seem to be a fix-it-all
Wayfair's layoffs and reorganization cut losses, but full year revenue is still on the decline. Can the elusive Vaccine Economy operating model be found in... — read more

What's up with all the vto lately? Seems a bit weird
If you still had any hope left in this company - watch this video
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this. Wayfair laid off a woman on a disability leave fighting off stage 4 cancer. What can we do as a community for Wayfair to take responsibility for this? https://youtu.be/PWuGRPiRAiA?si=aeHJJ6-GiN6m1PD3 — read more

It's not just us
A whole bunch of companies have started the year with layoffs, including eBay. This su-ks because it's going to make it that much harder to find a new job. Not only are some major companies not hiring but firing, but there will be many of us vying... — read more

Al hands
No one should believe anything they are saying. When they claim they are going to hire, but notice how they highlight India. This company is going to out source everything. No question.
All hands meeting
Anyone who believes this all hands meeting is a blind id--t. There is absolutely no room for advancement. They just demoted l4 and l2s. Where are you going to go? There are no leadership opportunities. Period. End of story.
Demotions
As an l6, I feel I have to share this information. There are plans to continue to do mini layoffs over the coming months. This will not impact Frontline in any significant way. However, if you are an l4 or an l3 in a stretch assignment, your are... — read more

What's going on?
They should have given me an option to volunteer
I am pi---d that I'm still here and some great people I know who didn't want to leave are gone. There are plenty of us who are hoping to leave with severance. What does it cost Wayfair to ask for volunteers before layoffs? Wouldn't it be better for... — read more
Frontline L1

It's not over
The l3s population was decimated with a few remaining. There will continue to be mini layoffs with the l2 population reporting directly to site leads. The plan is to get rid of most of all l3 by the end of the year.

Laid off? Take it from a Jan 20th '23 person: things are so much better on the outside
Title says it all. Collect your severance, and be done with it. Go enjoy yourself and take the next week relaxing, sleeping in, and tending to some self-care that you have been sorely lacking. Wayfair's culture is toxic and you really see (and feel)... — read more
The community was right and management is alredy starting their propaganda
From people who haven't been affected I hear that managers are already jumping on calls with their team saying that they didn't know anything and that they only found out when emails were sent earlier today. In the same time they have kept repeating... — read more
