Their lack of success might not be entirely pandemic economy driven as the article suggests. I was part of that cohort that discovered and ordered from Wayfair around the start of the pandemic. In 3/3 cases, what I ordered turned out to be of poor quality and slightly different from what was pictured on their website. I’ve had this experience with Amazon and other platforms from time to time, too, but never so consistently. So I decided not to order from there again. I have to wonder if their declining popularity is just a result of other customers like myself having been burned too many times.
There is a tiger in the forest, and it might be stalking me. It's gotten some of my friends, and I might be next.<p>No emotion is forever, there are brighter days ahead.<p>edit: I should be clear that I am fine. I am not affected by layoffs, I do not currently have persistent negative emotions. If you do, it is appropriate and good to find help.
It's their 3rd layoff in the last two years. Last year, they were shouting from the roof about opening of three new engineering offices - Austin, SFO, and Toronto. I used to work there during 2019-2020, so I could say - No, you don't need these new offices. Not sure why their leadership took that step.
It would be cool if we could have a dedicated section of hacker news or something for these announcements? Like, who cares?<p>What about a weekly "Who's firing" thread instead ?<p>Edit: I'm actually sorry for people who've lost their jobs and are negatively impacted by this, but HN is going to get pretty lame if it's just page after page of layoff announcements for the entire recession period.
