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 that 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 spokesperson Susan Frechette tells the BDN 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.
