Fab is laying off roughly a third of its current staff

Anxiety gripped Fab employees on Wednesday after receiving an email from the company’s human resources department department, which was reviewed by BuzzFeed, not to come into the office on Thursday and to await further instructions for one-on-one-meetings. After a year of turmoil filled with layoffs, executive departures and what were seen to be missteps in company culture, it appears that the future of the e-commerce company is once again in doubt. According to two sources inside the company, the remaining staff will be going in to meet on an individual basis to discuss the future of the company. Employees are currently speculating that tomorrow will signal another round of layoffs followed by yet another change of direction, these people said. Many expect to be laid off as the staff is reduced to a small workforce to sell off inventory as it transitions to a new business model, those people said.
