Business Insider staff hit with layoffs 

Business Insider is restructuring its operations, resulting in the lay offs of 8% of its current staff. The job cuts were announced via an internal memo sent on Thursday morning from CEO Barbara Peng. According to Variety, affected employees will receive a minimum of 13 weeks pay and medical coverage through May 2024. Peng added that the company will offer career coaching sessions, resume reviews, and training on networking, interviewing, and negotiations. Business Insider previously announced in April 2023 that that it was laying off about 10% of staff. Today’s news comes on the heels of uncertainty at Sports Illustrated, where the publication may be forced to let go of all of its staff due to a licensing issue. The Los Angeles Times also slashed its workforce by 20% this month, while Condé Nast employees in the union held a 24-hour walk out this week as hundreds of editors and staff are protesting the company’s handling of proposed job cuts.
