Online retailer Zulily lays off corporate workers as parent Qurate aims to cut expenses

Online retailer Zulily laid off corporate employees last week as its parent company looks to cut costs amid broader industry concerns related to e-commerce growth.

Fewer than 100 positions were impacted, or less than 10% of the company’s corporate workforce. A spokesperson for Qurate Retail Group, which acquired Seattle-based Zulily in 2015, confirmed the cuts but did not provide specific numbers on jobs affected.

“Last week, we announced to our team members some hard choices we have made for our organization to bring our operating expenses in line with our revenue and position our business for future growth,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
