About
Discord, the popular messaging and community platform, is laying off 170 employees, which represents 17 percent of its workforce. The cuts, announced on January 11, 2024, are the company's largest to date and follow a previous reduction of 4 percent in August 2023. In an internal memo, CEO Jason Citron stated that the layoffs are intended to sharpen the company's focus and improve operational agility. He admitted that Discord expanded its headcount too rapidly, growing fivefold since 2020, which led to inefficiency. While not in dire financial straits, the company has yet to achieve profitability and is working to revive user growth after a pandemic surge. This move is part of a broader trend of workforce reductions across the tech industry.
