The Snapchat company let go of several dozen staffers on Friday, according to two people familiar with the company. Many Snap employees took the memo as a hint that more company changes were coming. Staffers have been "on pins and needles" about layoffs in recent weeks, according to one of the people familiar with the company. In September, Snap let go of about 150 people after shutting down a short-lived division for creating augmented reality tools for businesses. Evercore senior managing director Mark Mahaney said in mid-January that "Snap has yet to snap back."

Several employees who left the company recently told The Information that Snap's 33-year-old cofounder and CEO Evan Spiegel is in his "Elon era" or "Elon moment," as he makes decisions emulating the billionaire's "hardcore" work culture at X — formerly Twitter. Snap's advertising business makes up a huge chunk of its revenue.
