Social networking platform MySpace is continuing its wave of layoffs, this time at its international offices. Two-thirds of the 450 jobs the network employs outside the United States will be cut, the company announced. In the future, MySpace will concentrate exclusively on its offices in Berlin, London and Sydney, while it reviews gcash data the performance of its other ten locations.
The aim of being present in as many international markets as possible led to the opening of “too many offices around the world,” explains the company’s president, Owen van Natta, in an internal email to his employees, published by the Techcrunch blog . This has led to a situation of “inefficiency.” However, in Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia, the platform has numerous users; in these markets, the platform hopes to reach interesting collaboration agreements.
Last week, MySpace, a subsidiary of News Corp., announced the elimination of 400 jobs from its US workforce of 1,400 employees.
