TikTok Plans Layoffs of Operations and Marketing Employees

TikTok has told employees it plans significant layoffs in its operations and marketing teams this week, according to current employees.

The precise number of job cuts could not be learned, but the employees said the layoff will affect a large percentage of the roughly 1,000 people working in TikTok's global user operations, content and marketing. TikTok plans to disband its global user operations team, which handles user support and user communications, among other things; the team’s remaining employees will be reassigned to TikTok’s trust and safety, marketing, content and product teams, the people said.
