Flexport employees are bracing for layoffs they believe could come as soon as Friday.
Meanwhile on Slack, Flexport CEO and founder Ryan Petersen told employees "Get back to work people!"
The comment, which was viewed by Insider, came in response to a set of questions an employee posed about executives' tips for success.
Insider first reported that Flexport was planning layoffs on September 7, the day after its former CEO Dave Clark departed.
The next day, Petersen hinted at more changes through a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, "Strategic Plan, Day 1: Make better decisions!"
