Mill Valley-based job search company Glassdoor has laid off 30% of its workforce, blaming the coronavirus pandemic.
Glassdoor has cut 300 people, most of them in Chicago. In an email sent to employees, CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong wrote recent cost cuts were not enough to avoid layoffs.
"Employers as a whole have dramatically reduced their recruiting, and it is not clear when this will recover," wrote Sutherland-Wong.
But compared to some, Glassdoor employees will walk away with a comfortable severance package: three months' pay, their laptop from work and health care costs covered through the end of the year.
