About

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian e-commerce fine jewelry startup Mejuri has laid off approximately 36 employees, representing 15 percent of its workforce of 244. The company, founded in Toronto in 2015, has closed all its retail stores in cities like Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles due to government-mandated closures of non-essential businesses. The layoffs, confirmed in late March 2020, included a mix of temporary and permanent reductions, primarily affecting retail staff, while the online store continues to operate. This move reflects broader challenges in the tech and startup industry, as many companies faced significant disruptions during the pandemic.
