Online education company for developers and IT professionals, Pluralsight, which was recently valued at more than $1 billion has announced to lay off 20 per cent of its global workforce, about 400 employees.<\/p>\n
CEO Aaron Skonnard said in an email to employees he owns this outcome and “take full responsibility for the decisions that got us here”.<\/p>\n
“I’ve spoken to all of you this year about the challenging economic environment we’re operating in and how it has affected our business performance,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, these challenges have only accelerated in Q4 and, as a result, “today we are restructuring and reducing the size of our team, impacting roughly 20 per cent of our team members”, he said late on Monday.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2004, Pluralsight had a net loss of $163.5 million in 2019 and $164 million in 2020, according to the US SEC documents.<\/p>\n
The CEO said that those impacted “can also look for additional communication from your executive about special All-Hands meetings for each organization later this week”.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry for the impact this will have on many of you, we’ve let you down during a difficult time,” he added.<\/p>\n
