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
THIS COMING FRIDAY 20 JANUARY ALL EYES ON WAYFAIR'S COMING LAYOFFS
EXPECTING POSSIBLY AROUND 30% OF THE WHOLE COMPANY OR 5000 EMPLOYEES. ALL SHALL BE REVEALED BY THIS COMING FRIDAY MORNING IN EUROPE WHEN THEY WILL START TO REMOVE ACCESS AND THEN MORNING START IN THE US. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Why is management silent?
That's not the way to lead.
Customer service going overseas
Management (Sanjeev) sent email today that they are activating a global model, meaning jobs are going overseas. Update coming in the next few weeks, be ready!
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.
Wayfair Layoffs 2023
Post any information about potential or actual Wayfair layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
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
Email sent about layoffs
Do we know which departments? I am worried sick.
900 Laid Off Company-Wide August 19
Both EU and NA, all departments. 10 weeks severance.
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?
Messy Quarter, layoffs to follow
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/05/wayfair-w-reports-q1-2022-losses.html
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?

Horrible way to treat some of the best employees

New hires
So I have been with Wayfair for a year and a half, all of customer service works virtually yet call center people get paid at least $3 more. The new hires with no experience make more than me. Management wont address the pay differences, they sweep... — read more
Wayfair laying off hundreds starting March 2021!!!
Sr Engineering managers being laid off. Hundreds in engineering teams being let go starting next month. Director of big data restructuring snd laying off multiple teams. And right after announcing quarterly returns to Wall Street.
Pay discrimination
Wayfair pays their call center employee's $2 an hour more, than the work from home employee's. They are all working from home right now, how is this not discrimination? New hires with no experience in Maine, Utah make more than a virtual agent with a... — read more
