- Wayfair's leaders say several recent rounds of layoffs have made the company better and better.
- In January, the home goods company laid off 13% of its workforce, affecting 1,650 employees.
- The leaders say the smaller staff has helped the company get more done faster — and cheaper.
Laying off workers over and over is working out great for Wayfair, according to the company's leaders.
On Thursday, Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah wrote in a letter to shareholders — co-signed by co-founder and co-chairman Steve Conine — that several rounds of layoffs over the last year-and-a-half have helped the company become leaner and meaner.
