Snap to lay off 10% of global workforce (cnbc.com)
26 points by dhaulagiri on Feb 5, 2024 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments



Key points:

- Snap said it would lay off 10% of its workforce worldwide, around 500 employees, to “promote in-person collaboration.”

- The Snapchat-maker’s last major round of cuts was in 2022, when it laid off 20% of staff.


I read that as "sack 10% to selectively threaten the other 90% with a return to office".
