In a week that's already seen Unity and Twitch announce signifiant job cuts, Discord has reportedly told staff it'll be laying off around 170 employees - approximately 17 percent of its workforce - as it seeks to "sharpen our focus and... bring more agility to our organisation." As reported by The Verge, employees at Discord were informed of the job cuts today by CEO Jason Citron in an all-hands meeting and accompanying internal email. Citron said the decision to cut jobs was part of a "need to sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organisation", adding, "While difficult, I am confident this will put us in the best position to continue building a strong and profitable business that delivers amazing products for our users and supports our mission for years to come."
