If you thought Big Tech\u2019s dreadful year of layoffs<\/a> would be confined to 2023, you\u2019re (sadly) mistaken. Audible laid off around five percent of its employees on Thursday, which Variety<\/em> reports<\/a> is \u201cjust over 100 staffers.\u201d The cuts in the audiobook division are part of parent company Amazon\u2019s most recent round of layoffs, also affecting Prime Video, MGM, and Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not take this route without considerable thought,\u201d Audible CEO Bob Carrigan reportedly said in an audio memo delivered to staff. \u201cBut getting leaner and more efficient is the way we will need to operate now \u2014 and in the foreseeable future \u2014 in order to continue delivering best-in-class audio storytelling to our customers around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those keeping score, \u201cleaner and more efficient\u201d echoes the language in numerous recent Big Tech layoff announcements<\/a>. Variations of \u201cIn these uncertain times…\u201d have also been popular.<\/p>\n

Carrigan ironically began by talking about Audible’s strong performance last year. \u201cI want to acknowledge the strong year we had in 2023, in which we delivered amazing listening experiences for our customers thanks to outstanding collaboration with creators and partners,\u201d he reportedly said. \u201cOur business is in good shape, and that is because of the hard work of each and every one of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CEO extolled how much the company values its workers. \u201cA big part of what makes working at Audible so special is our many talented and dedicated employees who bring their passion to work each and every day. It\u2019s also what makes it even harder to say goodbye to people we care about,\u201d he said. \u201cI recognize the impact this will have on those transitioning out of Audible as well as all of you who remain. Thanks to all who are leaving us for their valuable contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
