San Francisco, California-based Webflow, a no-code website builder and hosting platform, has announced an 8% reduction in its workforce.
Approximately 48 employees will be impacted.
According to CFO Linda Tong, “To be clear: our business is healthy and our financials are strong. This decision is about sharpening our focus to accelerate delivery in pursuit of our mission. As you’ve heard me say many times in the last few months, we’re entering a new phase at Webflow that will require us to operate differently. Employees laid off in the United States will receive 16 weeks of severance pay and COBRA continuation. Staff will be allowed to keep their company laptops."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall; why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
