Things just keep getting worse for BuzzFeed.
On Monday, the struggling media company announced the layoffs of 180 employees, or about a third of its entire workforce, in the latest sign of its decline since its unexpected pivot to AI.
The cuts, according to the New York Times, affect employees at its news site HuffPost, BuzzFeed’s film and TV studio, and the recipe publisher Tasty.
“We’ve been actively managing costs for some time, working through scenarios to save as many jobs as possible,” an internal memo given to staff reads per the NYT. “Unfortunately, the elimination of certain roles is still required. Today’s changes include the elimination of positions across the entire company.”
