Website development platform Wix.com (WIX), or simply Wix, has announced that it will trim its employee list by 20%. The company expects this move to contribute to the $70 million in incremental cost savings that it has projected for this year. However, there is a deeper problem.
Wix has guided for a cut in its full-year bookings by $50 million and has lowered its revenue guidance by $25 million. Further, the perceived cost savings from the reduced workforce did not stop its shares from declining sharply by 8% on Monday's trading session.
