Confirming recent rumors, the CEO of Ethereum development company ConsenSys, Joe Lubin, announced on Wednesday that the company will be laying off 97 employees. Lubin wrote in the publicar,
Today we need to make the extremely difficult decision to streamline some of ConsenSys’ teams to adjust to challenging and uncertain market conditions. This decision will impact a total of 97 employees, which represents 11% of ConsenSys’ total workforce.
According to the blog post, departing ConsenSys employees are entitled to generous severance benefits based on tenure and an expanded option exercise window from 12 to 36 months.

A ConsenSys, que tem sede na cidade de Nova York e atualmente emprega cerca de 900 pessoas, é uma das várias empresas de criptomoedas que foram forçadas a Demitir staff as a result of the industry’s ongoing bear market, which is thought to have cost 27,000 jobs since April.
Lubin, in his post, emphasized ConsenSys’ financial stability by adding that the tough decision to streamline would direct the company’s strategy around its core products and the discovery of new opportunities in Web3 commerce. Lubin added that streamlining its operations was also part of its attempt to lower its operating costs.
Compartilhando mais informações sobre a decisão, Lubin disse à CoinDesk,
We’re keeping the company strong; we didn’t cut into muscle. We sort of right-sized support functions, some customer support, some internal team support, because there’s just less activity in our ecosystem right now. I expect we’ll get back to doing quite significant and surging business in the not too distant future.
Microsoft demite 10.000 funcionários
A Microsoft anunciou na quarta-feira que demitirá 10.000 funcionários até 31 de março, enquanto a empresa de software se prepara para um crescimento de receita mais fraco. A corporação assumirá um encargo de $1,2 bilhão no segundo trimestre de seu ano fiscal, o que reduziria os lucros por ação em 12 centavos.
Microsoft has now become the latest software firm to step back following a few years of intense hiring fueled by a surge in the demand for online services and skilled individuals. Several tech businesses, including Alphabet, Amazon, and Salesforce, have also reduced their workforces in recent weeks.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the move was part of its efforts to slash expenses amid the current economic instability and to refocus on strategic goals like artificial intelligence. At the end of June, Microsoft had around 221,000 employees worldwide, so the reductions represent less than 5% of that workforce.
