&ldquo;I am saddened, frustrated, and genuinely blindsided by this decision,&rdquo; one of the employees<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6938595063895625728/"> wrote</a>. &ldquo;Beyond my frustration, confusion, and disappointment, I&rsquo;m heartbroken,&rdquo; another laid-off worker<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jordan-fine_it-hurts-my-soul-that-i-have-to-write-this-activity-6938479018845364224-5e4v/?utm_source=linkedin_share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web"> said</a>.

While economic uncertainty looming,&nbsp;Dutchie joined other companies that recently cut their staff.

Dutchie is the Bend, Oregon-based company that charges cannabis dispensaries a monthly fee to create and run their websites as well as manage orders. It employs over 700 people.

In the meantime, Dutchie, which serves over 5,000 nationwide announced its plans to launch an ACH-based technology dubbed Dutchie Pay.
