#STICH FIX FULL#

If they needed to fill 10 вЂњfixesвЂќ on their shift, it didnвЂ™t matter if they did that on Thursday morning at 6am or Sunday at 9pm вЂ“ they just had to get it done.

Previously, the stylists working for Stitch Fix were allowed to set their own hours, making it an ideal gig for people with full time jobs and for people with young children. Stylists started quitting in droves around July, after the company instituted a new work schedule, and banished an old regime that allowed them to work at their convenience. It seems unlikely the fix was curated by a human who was looking carefully at my profile. My most recent one, however, was filled with items of clothes my account preferences indicate should never be sent to me: high rise denim shorts, floral patterns, the color yellow, spaghetti straps, and the color coral. I am a Stitch Fix client, myself, and love getting my fixes. or have the time to search and filter through things,вЂќ one stylist complained. вЂњYou donвЂ™t have time to look at the feedback/past requests etc. On Facebook, other Stitch Fix stylists said they werenвЂ™t given enough time to put together looks, and were allocated just four and 13 minutes to style a вЂњfix,вЂќ the companyвЂ™s term for a box of clothes. In online forums, some stylists said they were seeing more inappropriate clothes for the season pushed onto them by the algorithm, and in some cases noticed what looked like attempts to get rid of inventory rather than pick the right items for each client. If you want a pink denim jacket, for instance, you can request it until youвЂ™re blue in the face, but if the algorithm doesnвЂ™t make it available, you wonвЂ™t get it. вЂњIt appears theyвЂ™ve been relying more and more on the algorithm as opposed to a true personal styling service, which is why (customers) get boots and sweaters in August and feel like their notes arenвЂ™t being read,вЂќ one stylist lamented recently on Reddit.Д¬ustomers of Stitch Fix receive boxes of clothing items that are intended to be swiftly personalized, narrowed down by what a computer selects, and then finalized by a human stylist. In recent posts on Reddit and Facebook, stylists suggested they are being pushed out in favor of the companyвЂ™s algorithm. After laying off some 1,400 stylists in California last year, the San Francisco-based company imposed a new, more restrictive work schedule this summer - prompting hundreds more to quit.ДЇor a business that calls stylists its вЂњ heartbeat ,вЂќ it does appear to be giving them a cold shoulder, and the issue isn't only the loss of flexible hours. Stitch Fix, a personal shopping service which relies on both stylists and computers to pick out clothing for customers, is suddenly making do with a lot fewer humans in the selection process.
