Online travel company TripAdvisor laid off 900 employees (roughly 25%). In conjunction, the company is shutting down its San Francisco and downtown Boston offices.
TripAdvisor becomes the latest travel company to conduct layoffs post COVID-19, joining Sonder (400 employees laid off), TripActions (300 employees), TravelTriangle (250 employees), and Fareportal (200 employees). Two-thirds of all startup layoffs since the coronavirus pandemic have come from industries directly affected by shelter-in-place orders.
