Plantation, Florida-based Chewy, an American online retailer of pet food and other pet-related products, has announced a reduction in force as part of a cost savings initiative.
222 employees were impacted, including engineers, developers, product managers and supply chain personnel, and those located at the company's Plantation, Florida headquarters.
According to a company statement, “As we head into 2024, we took the opportunity to consolidate some of our headcounts and align our efforts into priorities which we believe will gain us the most significant customer wins and generate the highest business returns, to enable us to strengthen the company’s future. This was a difficult decision that was carefully considered as part of our overall strategy and ongoing focus on becoming an ever more agile and disciplined company. We are grateful to our team members for their contributions and remain committed to supporting them during this transition."
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
