📉 Wayfair lays off 5 percent of its global workforce
Wayfair saw a spike in sales at the beginning of the pandemic as customers stayed home and took an interest in renovating their space and shopping online but today announced it’s laying off 870 employees.
The online furniture and home decor retailer indicated that the “workforce reduction” affects 5 percent of its global workforce and 10 percent of its corporate team. The company saw a nearly 15 percent decrease in net revenue compared to its earnings in 2021.
E-commerce company Shopify laid off 1,000 employees in July. Last week, Peloton announced that it would lay off 800 employees (after firing 2,800 employees in February) and begin shutting the doors of its brick-and-mortar showrooms in 2023. Tech companies like Snap, SoundCloud, Robinhood, and even Netflix laid off employees recently.

🥬 Wendy’s pulls lettuce from sandwiches amid E. coli outbreak
The fast-food chain Wendy’s says it is pulling lettuce from sandwiches in its restaurants in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania after people eating them there reported falling ill.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is trying to determine whether romaine lettuce is the source of an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 37 people and whether romaine used at Wendy’s was also served or sold at other businesses.
Wendy’s says lettuce used in its salads is different and not affected by its decision to pull the lettuce from sandwiches. The company said it is cooperating with the CDC.

‼️ Russia's Gatilov: No 'Practical Platform' to Hold Putin-Zelensky Meeting ➡️ LIVE UPDATES
There is no practical platform to hold a direct meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and as the conflict further continues, it will be more difficult to reach a diplomatic solution, Russian Permanent Representative in the UN Office in Geneva Gennady Gatilov said on Sunday.
There "was not any practical platform for having this meeting," Gatilov told the Financial Times newspaper.
The diplomat praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for "trying his best" to facilitate the diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, but said that "now, I do not see any possibility for diplomatic contacts. And the more the conflict goes on, the more difficult it will be to have a diplomatic solution," as quoted by the newspaper.

🇮🇱 Israeli spyware firm chief steps down amid NSO restructuring
NSO Group, the Israeli offensive cyber firm known for its infamous Pegasus spyware, is laying off about 100 workers and replacing its CEO, a company spokesperson confirmed on Sunday. The company has been connected to a number of scandals resulting from alleged misuse by customers of its flagship Pegasus phone surveillance software.
The company has also been hurt by an Israeli decision late last year to tighten its supervision of cyber exports. That decision, made in the wake of criticism that Israel's oversight of the digital surveillance industry was too lax, has reduced the number of countries that can purchase Israeli cyber software from over 100 to 37. They also faces lawsuits from Apple and Facebook accusing the Israeli firm of breaking into their products.

🧑🏫 Student loan payment pause: Biden to make decision this week
US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Sunday that Americans can expect a decision from the Biden administration on student loans in the "next week or so" as a pause on federal student loan payments is set to expire on Aug. 31.
With some 10 days to go, Americans have been left guessing whether President Joe Biden will extend the current moratorium or, perhaps, forgive some of their debt. Democratic lawmakers and advocates have been urging Biden to broadly cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt per borrower.
The Education Department has already made strides to forgive student loan debt, which is estimated to be at $1.7 trillion spread across 45 million Americans.

🚙 DoorDash won’t deliver Walmart’s groceries starting next month
The company is calling off its partnership with Walmart, which had the service delivering groceries and other goods from the retail chain to customers for over four years.
The two companies first teamed up in 2018 when Walmart started testing having groceries ordered through its site delivered by DoorDash. It went live in Atlanta, Georgia, to start, but has since expanded to several other states.
Walmart has been busy building out its own delivery service platform, Spark, which hands off grocery deliveries to its own database of gig workers, similar to the way Lyft and Uber operate.

🗣 Hundreds of Google workers signed a petition demanding it stop collecting abortion search data from people
The Alphabet Workers' Union — a union for employees at Google's parent company Alphabet — circulated a petition that garnered over 650 signatures, the union said in a Twitter.
One of the petition's demand is that Google stop collecting data from users searching for abortion information. The AWU cited the case of a 17 year-old and her mother who were accused in June of obtaining an illegal abortion for the teenager, and whose Facebook data was given to law enforcement.
It also said Google must work to get rid of ads for "misleading 'pregnancy crisis centers." Bloomberg reported this week Google Maps frequently directs users searching for abortion clinics to pregnancy crisis centers instead.
