About
Glassdoor, an online job search and company reviews platform, laid off 300 employees in May 2020, which represented 30% of its workforce at the time. The drastic cuts were a direct response to the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a dramatic and sustained drop in business as employers sharply reduced their recruiting activities. CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong, who had recently taken leadership, described the decision as heartbreaking and took full responsibility, noting the cuts were necessary despite executive pay reductions, including his own 50% cut. The company provided affected employees with severance packages including at least three months of pay and extended health benefits.
