Wayfair is cutting about 13% of its global workforce, affecting approximately 1,650 employees, the company announced on Friday.

"The changes announced today reflect a return to our core principles on resource allocation, such as getting fit on spans and layers as well as focusing on our highest priorities," Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah said in a statement.
