About

In September 2024, Italy-based app company Bending Spoons, which acquired the Dutch file-transfer service WeTransfer in July, announced plans to lay off approximately 75% of WeTransfer's staff. With over 350 employees reported at WeTransfer, this restructuring could affect more than 260 people. The decision is part of Bending Spoons' typical post-acquisition strategy to create a "smaller, more sharply focused" organization aimed at long-term profitability and operational efficiency. The layoffs, pending compliance with local regulations across different countries, reflect the tech industry's ongoing consolidation and restructuring trends, as seen in Bending Spoons' previous cuts at Evernote.
