Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based GoPuff, a consumer goods and food "fast" delivery company, has announced that it is closing 76 U.S. micro-fulfillment warehouses and distribution centers and laying off 10% of its global workforce.
The layoffs will impact about 1,500 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, “These shifts are not only accelerating our timeline to profitability, they are taking us back to our roots of keeping profitability at the core of every decision. As part of our efforts to remove overhead and drive operational efficiencies, we have made the incredibly challenging decision of reducing our global workforce by 10%. While difficult, this restructures us to align more closely around business priorities while accelerating our path to profitability.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
