In a week that’s already seen Unity and Twitch announce signifiant job cuts, Discord has reportedly told staff it’ll be laying off around 170 employees – approximately 17 percent of its workforce – as it seeks to „sharpen our focus and… bring more agility to our organisation.“
As reported by The Verge, employees at Discord were informed of the job cuts today by CEO Jason Citron in an all-hands meeting and accompanying internal email.
„Today we are making the unfortunate and difficult decision to reduce the size of Discord’s workforce by 17%,“ Citron wrote in the email shared by The Verge. „This means we are saying goodbye to 170 of our talented colleagues. This is a decision we did not take lightly, but it is one that we have conviction in to better serve our users, our business and our mission over the long term.
