  + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Kali Hays | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Snap's new mass layoff impacted workers in a range of roles across the company. Another perceived Snap in recent months as a company in "managed decline." C-suite executives who were hired or promoted, like Jerry Hunter and Jeremi Gorman, respectively, to build up and manage Snap's business, are gone and are not being replaced, as CEO Evan Spiegel is taking on oversight of the business. Engineering leaders, too, left the company in recent months. Snap has hired some new executives, like Patrick Harris, Ronan Harris, Darshan Kantak and Eric Young, but none are in the c-suite.

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."

Evan Spiegel is having an "Elon moment," according to a report from the The Information citing staff. The 33-year-old Snap CEO is taking a hands-on approach and asking employees to work harder. Business Insider reported in October that staff in Snap's ad business are struggling with nitpicking and micromanagement. 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.

Earlier this summer, Snap executives told managers they should put at least 10% of their teams on performance improvement plans. In a few weeks, Snap employees have gone from feeling relatively stable to joking that they now work at "Snapazon," a reference to the sometimes grueling, metric-heavy approach of Amazon. Snap is chopping the Snap Pixy mini drone, its accelerator program, Snap Originals, Snap Minis and its Games vertical. Other Snap workers expressed similar doubts about the company's acquisition strategy. AR likely will not be a major success story, despite Snap's leadership in the area.
