$SNAP is laying off ~16% of its workforce while guiding for ~$1.53B in Q1 revenue, ~$233M EBITDA and up to $130M in restructuring charges. Tough scene for morale when layoffs hit right after the CEO Evan Spiegel is having the time of his life at Coachella. [image]

The company behind Snapchat is laying off 1,000 workers (16% of its workforce) citing rapid advancements in AI which will save the company $500M per year. — Jack Dorsey's layoffs at Block were a new triggering event for tech layoffs similar to Elon's at Twitter in 2022.

$SNAP spent a historic bull market proving that user growth without real monetization leverage doesn't matter. Being down over 90% in an environment like this is pretty hard to do. [image]

Great start on $SNAP . I know it hurts to cut staff. But this shows the leverage in their business if they choose to unlock it.
