E-scooter giant Bird lays off 23% of its employees to reduce cost structure

US-based electric scooter and micromobility giant Bird has reportedly let go 23 per cent of its employees in its latest round of layoffs, media reports say.

While tech layoff tracker Layoffs.fyi attributes the news of the layoffs to an internal memo, certain LinkedIn posts from former Bird employees confirm that the layoffs have already begun, reports Techcrunch.

The layoffs are hitting everyone from senior managers to new hires across different business divisions.

Bird has also confirmed the layoffs to the website, saying that the departures will span across the organisation and regions.
