TikTok layoffs are in the news Tuesday as the video-sharing platform cuts jobs in its advertising division.
A spokesperson for TikTok confirms that the company has laid off roughly 60 employees who work in advertising. That’s a small amount compared to the 7,000 workers it has in the U.S. and the 150,000 workers of parent company ByteDance .
TikTok intends to hold a town hall meeting today to address these layoffs. The company already notes that these job cuts aren’t about major changes. Instead, it says that it’s a simple realignment of its workforce.
The locations affected by the TikTok layoffs are also varied. A few locations in the U.S. were hit. That includes facilities in Los Angeles, New York, and Austin. Jobs outside of the U.S. were also affected by these layoffs, reports NPR .
TikTok Jons Layoffs Trend
Layoffs have been a hot topic in 2024, and TikTok is far from the only company behind that. Several major players in the tech space have been cutting jobs as they start a new fiscal year.
Investors will keep in mind that this comes during a tough economy. Heightened inflation and interest rates continue to weigh on businesses. That means more layoffs will likely be announced by companies in the short term.
