Airtable即将面临大规模裁员。Airtable的新东家——意大利科技集团Bending Spoons周一表示，该公司正在裁员“大部分”员工，以围绕更小的团队和AI功能重塑业务。
Big layoffs are coming to Airtable. Airtable's new owner, Italian tech conglomerate Bending Spoons, said Monday it is laying off a "large part" of the software company as it reshapes the business around smaller teams and AI features.
Bending Spoons的产品负责人Federico Simionato在X上发帖称，此次裁员并非反映员工的工作表现，而是源于公司“坚信小团队能产出更多、更优质的成果”的坚定信念。Simionato写道：“致所有离职的同事：感谢你们。如果有人正在招聘，这些人都是优秀的人才，值得联系。”
In an X post, Federico Simionato, Bending Spoons' product leader, said the cuts were not a reflection of employees' work but of the company's "deep belief that small teams ship more and better." "To everyone leaving: thank you. If you're hiring, these are excellent people and worth a call," Simionato said.
Bending Spoons于8月宣布以12.8亿美元收购这款电子表格和数据库应用Airtable。目前尚不清楚此次裁员将影响多少人。Bending Spoons的代表尚未立即回应置评请求。
Bending Spoons announced in August that it was acquiring Airtable, the spreadsheet and database app, for $1.28 billion. It was not immediately clear how many people would be affected by the layoffs. Representatives for Bending Spoons did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Airtable产品负责人Alessandro Savarese在公司网站的博客中称，被裁员工将在本周结束前离开，并获得“丰厚的离职补偿”。
Airtable product lead Alessandro Savarese said in a blog post on the company's website that the employees being cut will leave by the end of the week with "substantial separation packages."
Savarese写道：“在Bending Spoons，我们亲眼见证了规模更小、行动更迅速、职责更清晰的团队所能产生的巨大影响，而我们在Airtable也有同样的目标。
"At Bending Spoons, we've seen firsthand how smaller, faster-moving teams with streamlined responsibilities can have an outsized impact, and we have the same ambitions at Airtable," Savarese wrote.
我们致力于让Airtable成为更好的产品，同时为客户提供卓越可靠性和支持。”
"We intend to make Airtable a better product while providing our customers with an exceptional level of reliability and support."
Savarese表示，公司将专注于改进Airtable的核心平台，并投资AI功能。
Savarese said the company will focus on improving Airtable's core platform and investing in AI features.
