Tech redundancies are coming thick and fast in 2022. With global recession looming, these redundancies will be increasing by the end of the year. Despite the fact that Meta hasn't announced notable redundancies in 2022, the company has already asked managers to weed out low-performing employees. Despite this, layoffs are still expected, particularly in the last few months of the year.
Peloton Interactive Inc. plans to cut 2,800 jobs
The news is not surprising, as Peloton is already courting Amazon and other potential acquisitions. While the company has not yet decided whether it will sell itself, CEO Jason Foley has said the company is willing to explore all options. But with the ongoing changes in the market, the company should consider selling itself, as it isn't likely to be profitable until 2022.
The company is laying off employees across the globe, but the layoffs won't affect instructors. In fact, Peloton is focusing on improving its financial health and has decided to eliminate more than 20% of its corporate workforce. It's also relying on third-party logistics companies, which means it won't be building its own factory in Ohio. Peloton's announcement came after a succession planning process.
Klarna cut 750 jobs
The UK's Credit Kudos is a prime example of the sort of start-up that grew in the ecommerce pandemic that is starting to stall. The company, which has already made almost 20% of its headcount redundant, plans to lay off 750 more staff at AWS in 2022. The company has said that it will raise more money via a new round of funding, which could slash its valuation to $30 billion. This downturn could mean that Klarna loses its position as Europe's most valuable privately owned tech firm. The company also announced that it will slash a further 10% of its global workforce due to a "declining market".
The company's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, delivered the layoff news in a prerecorded video. He cited the war in the Ukraine, steep increases in inflation and the stock market as reasons for the decision. The company plans to compensate those who lose their jobs and will begin the process of laying off others. While the layoffs are bad news for the company, those affected will receive severance packages, which will vary from one company to another.
Amazon cuts 6% of its workforce after pandemic
During the peak of the omicron Covid-19 variant, Amazon employed more than 6,000 people. But then, the company's workforce quickly went back down to its normal level because of the demand spike caused by the pandemic. As a result, Amazon has now cut 6% of its workforce, or about a lakh employees globally. While Amazon will still employ more than 15 lakh people worldwide, the company has promised to slow down its hiring rate for the next four years.
Earlier this year, Amazon announced it was cutting nearly 6% of its total workforce, the largest reduction in a single quarter. This is in response to heightened inflation and reduced profits, as well as to unprecedented pandemic growth. Currently, Amazon is the second largest employer in the U.S., second only to Walmart, according to its most recent earnings report. The company plans to be more selective in hiring at its headquarters and will add headcount "very targeted" in areas such as advertising and engineering.
