Ex-Shopify and Deliverr workers say layoffs, compensation issues at Flexport capped a 15-month rollercoaster: ‘Honestly a bit relieved that it’s over’

Many employees who had joined the freight-forwarding company with its acquisition of Shopify Logistics in May were let go in Flexport’s latest round of layoffs, which affected 20% of the company overall.
