Instacart will cut 1,900 jobs — including 10 workers who recently formed a union — as the company begins to increase the scale and accessibility of its pickup services in 2021.
Instacart will begin offering its retail partners a new Partner Pick model, which will allow stores to rely on their own employees to utilize Instacart’s technology and fulfill orders for customers.
“As a result of some grocers transitioning to a Partner Pick model, we’ll be winding down our in-store operations at select retailer locations over the coming months,” an Instacart spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement Thursday. “We know this is an incredibly challenging time for many as we move through the COVID-19 crisis, and we’re doing everything we can to support in-store shoppers through this transition.”
