About
On January 26, 2022, beauty brand Glossier laid off 80 corporate employees, representing about one-third of its corporate workforce, with the cuts primarily impacting its technology team. The company, which operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business in the beauty industry, cited a strategic shift to rely more on external technology partners rather than maintaining certain platforms internally. Founder Emily Weiss acknowledged in an internal email that the company had over-hired and become distracted by projects outside its core beauty focus. This move came despite Glossier's frequent emphasis on its tech-driven approach and followed a previous round of layoffs in 2020 when it closed all physical stores. The company, valued at $1.8 billion, continues to generate most of its revenue online.
