Inside the chaotic 'Valentine's Day massacre' at Wayfair where hundreds of workers lost their jobs
Wayfair announced that more than 500 workers would be laid off on Thursday; 350 of which were workers at its Boston headquarters.
Around the same time, Wayfair's CEO Niraj Shah sent out a company-wide email informing the rest of the organization of the news. "The difficult human impact of this is that today we are telling approximately 550 people that their roles no longer exist and they will depart Wayfair." Business Insider spoke to four Wayfair workers from its US offices about the events leading up to the layoffs; three of these employees were impacted by the cuts and described them as a "shock," as well as sharing details about the atmosphere at its Boston headquarters as hundreds of employees were asked to pack up their desks and leave the office.
These employees gathered in groups of 40 in each room and were handed their severance letters along with grey tote bags and told to go back to their desks to pack up their things. "Everyone was crying," including the people that weren't laid off, the former employee said.
