Nodul sursă: 1608947

Robinhood a anunțat că își reduce personalul cu 23% (aproximativ 780 de angajați). La începutul acestui an, Robinhood a concediat 340 de angajați, adică 9% din forța de muncă. Angajații din funcții de operațiuni, marketing și management de program vor fi în mare parte afectați de reduceri, departamentul de combatere a spălării banilor va rămâne intact.

CEO-ul și co-fondatorul Robinhood, Vlad Tenev a scris următoarele într-un blog:

“Let me explain how we arrived at this decision. Earlier this year, I announced that we would be letting go of 9% of our workforce and focusing on greater cost discipline throughout the organization.

“This did not go far enough. Since that time, we have seen additional deterioration of the macro environment, with inflation at 40-year highs accompanied by a broad crypto market crash. This has further reduced customer trading activity and assets under custody.”

Robinhood’s revenue dropped to $318 million compared to $565 million(-44%) in the same quarter in 2021.

Achiziție FTX?

Există speculații că FTX urmează să dobândească Robinhood. Deși Bankman-Fried (care deține un pachet de 7.6% din Robinhood) a negat că FTX intenționează să achiziționeze Robinhood, reducerea personalului are loc adesea în timpul achizițiilor sau al parteneriatului.

CoinFLEX, de exemplu, și-a redus recent personalul, dar a precizat că decizia sa bazat pe o potențială achiziție sau parteneriat:

“When we affect the plans around the CoinFLEX Composite distributions (inclusive of rvUSD, equity and FLEX Coin), we want to be in a position, cost-wise, to make sure that we have every chance to be a successful business which begins by being a leaner business staffing-wise.

“This means that we, unfortunately, had to let go of a significant number of the CoinFLEX team across all departments and geographies. The staff cuts and non-staff costs that we have made will reduce our cost base by approximately 50-60%.

“The majority of the team that remain are focused on product and technology, which remains the core of our business. We will monitor costs to ensure we operate as efficiently as possible and scale as volumes come back.

“The intention is to remain right-sized for any entity considering a potential acquisition of or partnership opportunity with CoinFLEX.”
