Honest Company Closing Austin Office

The Honest Company, the eco-friendly e-commerce retailer co-founded by Jessica Alba, is closing its Austin office, as part of a layoff of around 80 people at the company--many of them at the firm's Austin call center. The layoffs were first covered by Women's Wear Daily earlier this week. The company said most of the job cuts will be in Texas, as it automates its call center and shifts its strategy. The Honest Company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
