网站构建软件公司Squarespace正在裁员19%，其首席执行官表示，这一举措将帮助公司以更精简的团队和“更多兼做球员的教练”来“适应现代时代”。根据Squarespace首席执行官安东尼·卡塞莱纳周一发送的一份全员备忘录，该公司将削减约300名员工。备忘录称，大部分裁员影响产品和工程团队，该备忘录已被《商业内幕》查阅。
Squarespace is laying off 19% of its staff in a move its CEO said would help it "adapt for the modern era" with leaner teams and "more player coaches." The website-building software company is reducing its head count by about 300 employees, according to a companywide memo sent by Squarespace CEO Anthony Casalena on Monday. Most of the cuts affect product and engineering teams, according to the memo, which was seen by Business Insider.
“我们需要工作的方式正在比历史上任何时候都更快地变化，我们的运营模式必须适应现代时代，”卡塞莱纳写道。“这意味着更小的团队、更多兼做球员的教练，以及一个简化的组织结构。”受影响的员工将获得至少16周的基本工资，以及根据任期增加的额外周数，福利将延续至2027年5月。备忘录称，员工还可以保留公司笔记本电脑，持有工作签证的员工将获得持续支持。
"The way we need to work is changing faster than at any point in our history, and our operating model must adapt for the modern era," wrote Casalena. "This means smaller teams, more player coaches, and a simplified organizational structure." Affected staff will get a minimum of 16 weeks of base salary plus additional weeks based on tenure and benefits through May 2027. Employees would also be able to keep their company laptops, and those on work visas would get continued support, the memo said.
一位发言人向《商业内幕》证实了裁员和备忘录，并补充道：“这些变化旨在简化我们的运营方式，明确我们的优先事项，并使公司能够更快地行动，以便将Squarespace定位于其下一阶段的增长。”周一稍晚，卡塞莱纳为剩余员工主持了一场关于裁员的直播演示。他在大约一分钟的直播中重申了备忘录中的观点，该直播不允许评论。
A spokesperson confirmed the layoffs and memo to Business Insider, adding: "The changes are intended to simplify how we operate, sharpen our priorities and enable the company to move faster as we position Squarespace for its next phase of growth." Later on Monday, Casalena hosted a livestream presentation about the layoffs for remaining employees. He reiterated the points made in his memo during the roughly one-minute livestream, which did not allow for comments.
发言人称，公司计划举行一次单独的全员会议。《连线》率先报道了这些裁员，而Squarespace此前已越来越多地向其产品添加AI功能。Squarespace加入了今年裁员的长长公司名单，其中一些公司提到了AI的兴起。上周，微软向6万名员工提供了买断方案，尽管该公司告诉《商业内幕》，它预计只有3000人或更少会接受该方案。
The company is planning a separate all-hands meeting, the spokesperson said. The cuts, first reported by The Verge, come after Squarespace has increasingly added AI features to its products. Squarespace joins a long list of companies that have laid off staff this year, some of which have cited the rise in AI. Last week, Microsoft offered buyouts to 60,000 employees, though the company told Business Insider it expects only 3,000 or fewer to take the offer.
卡萨莱纳也加入了在谈论裁员时提及精简团队的首席执行官名单——二月，Block首席执行官杰克·多西在X平台上的一篇关于将公司规模削减近一半的帖子中，强调了向更小团队转变的趋势。阅读Squarespace首席执行官给员工的备忘录：
