‘LinkedIn Premium subscriptions, MacBooks and more’: Canva CEO offers ‘different’ support package after announcing major job cuts
Australian design software company Canva recently announced that it is cutting 1,271 jobs, roughly 22% of its global workforce, as it grapples with slowing growth and prepares for a major internal overhaul. Co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins broke the news in a lengthy message to staff, which was later published on the company’s newsroom website. Perkins apologised to affected employees for the pain and disruption caused by the restructuring. The cuts will touch teams across all 37 countries where Canva operates. While many employees will be asked to move into new roles or relocate to centralised office hubs, others will be leaving the company. To those leaving, the company has offered a support package that may be different from others.
