Dropbox is Laying Off 20% of Its Staff
Dropbox is letting go 20% of its workforce as the cloud company undergoes what CEO Drew Houston calls a 'transitional period.' From a report: In a letter to staff, Houston said that the reduction in headcount would impact 528 people. The goal, he added, was to make cuts in areas where Dropbox has 'over-invested' while designing a 'flatter, more efficient' team structure.

'As CEO, I take full responsibility for this decision and the circumstances that led to it, and I'm truly sorry to those impacted by this change,' he wrote. 'This market is moving fast and investors are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into this space. This both validates the opportunity we've been pursuing and underscores the need for even more urgency, even more aggressive investment, and decisive action.' According to a filing with the SEC, Dropbox estimates it'll lay out total cash expenditures of $63 million to $68 million on the layoffs, primarily in the form of severance and benefits, and recognize $47 million to $52 million of incremental expense.
