I heard Zulily laid off 1000 employees today, can anyone confirm this news?
TF do they do?

I interviewed with them they are the bulk version of Amazon. They order stuff in bulk when enough people pays for it. They say this item which is 10 dollars will be 6 dolar when we find 1000 people to but it. They talk to the vendor and star getting payments for it. Then once they reach 1000 buyers they buy is for 6 dolars. They were very well known with baby related stuff at first but I think they start doing other stuff too
Used to be a site called mobshop that had a similar concept to that.
I’m familiar with Mobshop
Must be fulfillment center retail employees: https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/03/zulily-informs-state-that-504-people-will-be-laid-off-when-pa-facility-closes.html
Make sense they don't have much of a technical team anyways I think it's less then 50 ICs who are SDEs and DSs

Yes there were layoffs today but I don't know the number of employees affected
Layoffs in the fulfillment center or corporate/engineering?
Share layoff link. Or it didnt happen
Corporate. Yes there are a lot of folks impacted.
Do you know which teams were affected?
I personally know someone at Zulily and yes this news is correct
Do you know which teams will be affected? They’re not that huge of a company so 1000 is pretty significant
I heard close to 100 for corporate. May be the 1000 number includes fulfilment?
Less than 100.
Correct news.
Wow how is this company still around, no free shipping getting your order takes weeks, you have 2 pay for returns.
