The music and podcast-streaming service Spotify announced Monday it is laying off 200 people as it makes changes to its podcasting division.
“We are expanding our partnership efforts with leading podcasters from across the globe with a tailored approach optimized for each show and creator. This fundamental pivot from a more uniform proposition will allow us to support the creator community better. However, doing so requires adapting,” said Sahar Elhabashi, Spotify’s vice president and head of its podcast business, in an internal update.
“As a result, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to make a strategic realignment of our group and reduce our global podcast vertical and other functions by approximately 200 people, or 2% of Spotify’s workforce,” Elhabashi said.

just the beginning
More layoffs, but we really need more third worlders invading the country. 🤔
Dozens of listeners will be disappointed.
YOU WILL NEED NOTHING, YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY

We have a family membership. Personally, I haven’t listened to many podcasts but the music that’s available, I can get more on youtube.
Yellen & Biden will say it’s just transitory and temporary. The democratic escape responsibility reasoning!
“ pivot from a more uniform proposition”
“Realignment”
“Vertical”
For goodness’ sake, just tell the truth and pass on the bad news like a man, not a wus.
This is Elon Musk demonstrating that most of these tech companies are bloated with a workforce that doesn't really have much to do except post "A day in the life at Spotify" on their social media feeds where they spend a lot of time enjoying the office perks but doing little more actual work than sending a few emails.
“Dozens of listeners will be disappointed.”
Over 500 million users but you are correct. Only a very few of those will be disappointed.
You’re correct! It’s going to be a whole different world in 18 months.
