eBay Announces Layoff of 9% of Workforce to Align with Strategic Priorities
eBay is reducing its workforce by approximately 1,000 employees, representing about 9% of its total staff. This move marks the company's second round of job cuts in 2024, following a reduction of roughly 800 employees in February. The layoffs are intended to streamline operations and reallocate resources toward high-growth areas and strategic priorities. The restructuring comes as eBay continues to shift its investment focus toward artificial intelligence and integrates recent acquisitions, such as the $1.4 billion purchase of Depop from Etsy. While the company is reducing overall headcount, management indicated that hiring will continue in specific priority sectors aligned with their long-term growth strategy.
