Shopify continues quiet, frequent layoffs after major workforce cuts

by | Dec 14, 2025 | E-commerce News

Shopify has continued laying off employees in small, frequent batches since its major workforce reductions in 2022 and 2023, according to reporting by The Logic. Sources said the cuts often happen quietly, with colleagues disappearing from internal systems without formal announcements, contributing to low morale and job insecurity. The layoffs come as Shopify pushes broader use of AI to limit headcount growth, with the most recent confirmed cuts affecting a fraction of staff in November 2025.
