About
In August 2022, the retail investment fintech company Robinhood laid off approximately 23% of its workforce, affecting about 713 employees and reducing its total staff to roughly 2,400. This significant cut came just three months after the company had already reduced its workforce by 9%. CEO Vlad Tenev took responsibility, citing over-hiring during the 2021 market frenzy based on expectations of sustained high retail engagement. He explained that the deteriorating macroeconomic environment, including high inflation and a crypto market crash, led to reduced customer trading activity, making the earlier layoffs insufficient. The layoffs were concentrated in operations, marketing, and program management functions.
