Twilio
In September, Twilio said it was cutting 11% of its workforce. The company notified the impacted employees via email.
Jeff Lawson, CEO of Twilio, announced the layoffs in a blog. The cuts impact Twilio workers in the United States and other countries.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat things,” he said. “A layoff is the last thing we want to do, but I believe it’s wise and necessary. Twilio has grown at an astonishing rate over the past couple years. It was too fast, and without enough focus on our most important company priorities. I take responsibility for those decisions, as well as the difficult decision to do this layoff.”
