View Date:2024-12-23 20:50:37
Business Insider is laying off around 8% of its staff, the company announced Thursday, joining other media companies who have began 2024 with job cuts.
In a memo posted Thursday, Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng said changes to the company and efforts toward the future also means the need to "scale back in some areas of our organization."
The layoffs will affect about 8% of employees at Business Insider, who, per the memo, will be notified Thursday. Employees who are laid off will receive a minimum of 13 weeks pay and medical coverage through May, Peng wrote, and the company is also offering career support services.
"We're committed to building an enduring and sustainable Business Insider for the coming years and beyond," Peng wrote in the memo. "We'll continue to work to serve our audience, create great experiences for them, and deliver stories that improve their lives and the world."
Insider job cuts come after LA Times, Sports Illustrated layoffs
Business Insider, published by Insider, Inc., is the latest media company to announce layoffs. Since the start of 2024, the Los Angeles Times has laid off around 20% of newsroom staff, the Sports Illustrated union said a significant amount of workers would be let go after a licensing agreement was revoked, and writers at Pitchfork, the music publication owned by Condé Nast, will be laid off and the publication absorbed into the men's magazine GQ.
Some tech companies are also starting the year with staff reductions, including eBay, which plans to lay off around 9% of workers and eliminate around 1,000 jobs.
