TikTok has announced layoffs within its operations and marketing departments, according to a report by The Information. It is unclear how many employees will be impacted, but earlier this year the company had already laid off dozens of workers.
The tech industry is currently experiencing a wave of layoffs, and TikTok is the latest company to make major cuts. Sources say that TikTok plans to lay off a significant number of employees from its operations, content, and marketing departments. The impacted employees will be notified either on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
According to reports, TikTok is dismantling its global user operations team. Employees who are not laid off will be reassigned to other departments within the company. This is larger than usual for the company, with sources stating that the scale of these layoffs is significant.
TikTok has yet to make any public comment regarding these layoffs. This story is still developing, so stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
