In response to challenging market conditions and a commitment to maintaining its product-first strategy, design software company Sketch has made the difficult decision to lay off just over 80 employees. This workforce reduction, announced by co-founders Pieter Omvlee and Emanuel Sá, primarily impacts the Operations and Marketing departments. The company is providing a compensation package to affected staff, which includes financial support, work equipment, and references. Sketch's Product and Technology teams remain intact and will continue to be led by the co-founders to advance the company's future vision. While the exact percentage and total employee count are not specified in this announcement, the layoffs reflect a strategic shift to streamline operations and focus resources on core product development during a period of economic uncertainty.
