We're not even two weeks into 2024 and the tech and gaming layoffs are already reaching catastrophic numbers. Now Discord is adding to the count by cutting 17% of its staff.
The news was announced to Discord employees in an internal memo from CEO Jason Citron, which was obtained and published by The Verge. In that memo, Citron noted that Discord's workforce had grown "by 5x since 2020," making the company "less efficient." Citron said "we are increasingly clear on the need to sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization. This is what largely drove the decision to reduce the size of our workforce."
