This. This was basically a lay off in disguise, and yet it's being portrayed as the opposite. Stichfix has continually automated many of their processes using their 100+ data scientists. This is no different.
The company's executive has continually failed at PR though, which is hammering the stock price. Unbelievable that they're letting this narrative just persist.
That's if you beleive the scientists are there for the product instead of being there for the investors. I don't know about stitch fix but there's a lot of unrealistic "Oh we're going to automate away all our staffing costs"

“Letting this narrative persist”
As if it’s in their purview to control. Ask the poor PR folks at CFA (chicken QSR)
Chick-fil-a? You can say that here without getting sued.
