Instacart is laying off approximately 1,800 employees as it transitions to a “Partner Pick” model for grocery services.
The company made the acknowledgement in a Medium blog post on Tuesday, noting, “we’ll be winding down our in-store operations at select retailer locations over the coming months.” The line was included about two-thirds of the way down in a larger post about the new Instacart Pickup Retailer models.
