Parler's parent company, Parlement Technologies, conducted a significant layoff in late 2023, cutting approximately 75% of its staff over several weeks from late November through December. This drastic reduction left only about 20 employees across both the Parler social media platform and its related cloud services venture. The layoffs also included most of the company's chief executives, raising serious questions about the future of this conservative-alternative social media platform. The move appears to be a sudden purge, with the company providing no public comment, leaving the industry to speculate about its underlying financial or strategic reasons amidst a competitive social media landscape.
