Wayfair layoff to put dozens of Mainers out of a job

 

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) — A large downsizing of workers by online furnishings company Wayfair will put dozens of Maine residents out of a job. The Bangor Daily News reports on Thursday that Wayfair will lay off 55 people from its contact center in Brunswick and one from a similar center in Bangor. The company, based in Boston, opened those centers in 2016. Wayfair spokeswoman Susan Frechette tells the Daily News that the workers who will be laid off in Maine are members of special team led out of the company’s Boston offices. The layoffs won’t affect sales and service workers in Maine.
