About

Sweetgreen, a fast-casual salad chain in the food and beverage industry, laid off 10% of its headquarters staff in late March 2020, affecting 35 employees out of 350 at its Culver City, Los Angeles office. The layoffs were a response to plunging revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted in-store dining. Despite being a tech-forward company with strong online ordering, the broader restaurant industry devastation led to these cuts, which were executed abruptly, leaving employees surprised after earlier assurances of job security.
