The parent company of Snapchat — Snap — is laying off about 10 percent of its workforce as layoffs continue to stalk the tech sector.

Snap announced the cut Monday, which will impact more than 500 employees, according to TechCrunch, which noted that as of last year’s third quarter, Snap had 5,367 workers.

“As a result, we currently estimate that we will incur pre-tax charges in the range of $55 million to $75 million, primarily consisting of severance and related costs, and other charges, of which $45 million to $55 million are expected to be future cash expenditures,” the filing said.
