In November 2023, online pet goods retailer Chewy laid off over 200 employees, with sources indicating the figure was around 220. The layoffs affected multiple locations, including its headquarters in Plantation, Florida, and spanned roles in HR, recruiting, data and business intelligence, engineering, product management, and supply chain, including some directors and a vice president. The company, which had reported a surprise profit but faced concerns over declining active users, stated the move was to consolidate headcount and align efforts with strategic priorities for future growth. Chewy provided severance packages starting at one month, with additional weeks based on tenure.
