About

In March 2020, retail-as-a-service company B8ta laid off over half of its corporate workforce, affecting approximately 250 employees, as the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the retail industry. The company also furloughed its store associates and implemented pay cuts for remaining staff. This drastic restructuring was aimed at preserving the business amid widespread store closures and shifting consumer spending. B8ta, which had recently expanded into fashion and lifestyle and secured significant funding, faced the same challenges as many retailers during the outbreak, highlighting the pandemic's brutal impact on non-essential retail sectors.
