About

Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, laid off 218 employees in the first half of 2018, which represented a small percentage of its then several-thousand-person workforce. The social media company faced subsequent allegations that these layoffs disproportionately targeted women, leading to discrimination complaints. According to a March 2019 report, Snap reached settlements with at least three women who made these allegations, though the company stated the layoffs impacted both men and women and were not based on gender. This event highlighted ongoing concerns about workplace culture and diversity within the tech industry.
