Discord just cut 17% of its staff

According to VGC , chat platform Discord has just made the difficult decision to cut 17% of its staff, equivalent to 170 people. The move comes as part of an effort to restructure the organization and improve operational efficiency.

“This was not an easy decision, but we believe it is necessary to better serve our users, our business, and our mission over the long term,” CEO Jason Citron said in an internal memo.

"Discord has changed and grown significantly over the past few years. We should all be proud of what we've accomplished together, serving the millions of people who use Discord every day to connect with their friends. However, we also have to face some difficult realities. Due to our rapid growth, our staff has increased fivefold since 2020. This has led to us taking on more projects and being less efficient," he explained.

"Therefore, we need to increase our focus and improve the way we work, to bring more flexibility to the organization. This is the main reason for the decision to reduce the number of employees."

This is the largest layoff in Discord's history, after the company cut 4% of its staff last summer. This latest round of cuts comes amid a difficult period for the gaming and tech industry in general. It's estimated that more than 9,000 gaming workers lost their jobs last year alone.
