About

TripAdvisor, an online travel company, laid off 900 employees, which represents approximately 25% of its workforce. This significant reduction occurred as the company decided to close its San Francisco and downtown Boston offices. The layoffs are part of a broader trend in the travel industry, which has been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related shelter-in-place orders. TripAdvisor joins other travel companies like Sonder, TripActions, TravelTriangle, and Fareportal in implementing workforce cuts during this challenging period.
