Mozilla Foundation Lays Off 30% Staff, Drops Advocacy Division
mardi 5 novembre 2024, 21:40 , par Slashdot
According to its annual tax filings, the Mozilla Foundation reported having 60 employees during the 2022 tax year. The number of employees at the time of the layoffs was closer to 120 people, according to a person with knowledge. When asked by TechCrunch, Mozilla's spokesperson did not dispute the figure. This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of employees who work on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser. Announcing the layoffs in an email to all employees on October 30, the Mozilla Foundation's executive director Nabiha Syed confirmed that two of the foundation's major divisions -- advocacy and global programs -- are 'no longer a part of our structure.' The move, according to Syed, is in part to produce a 'unified, powerful narrative from the Foundation,' including revamping the foundation's strategic communications. 'Our mission at Mozilla is more high-stakes than ever,' said Syed. 'We find ourselves in a relentless onslaught of change in the technology (and broader) world, and the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical.' 'Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus -- and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won't get us to the next peak. Lofty goals demand hard choices.' Read more of this story at Slashdot.
