eBay plans to lay off about 9% of its workforce, according to internal messaging reviewed by Reuters and reported by multiple outlets. The company says the cuts are aimed at simplifying operations and shifting resources toward areas it considers its fastest-growing performers.
Outlets frame the announcement as part of ongoing cost and restructuring efforts. Bloomberg and BNN Bloomberg report that the move is eBay’s second round of job cuts this year, while the Globe and Mail adds that eBay already reduced staff by about 6% in February. Quartz similarly emphasizes the internal memo’s focus on directing resources to best-performing segments, with no additional figures beyond the 9% reduction.
