☆ Amazon lays off more than 500 employees in its Twitch unit
  + stars: | 2024-01-10 | by ( Annie Palmer | In Annierpalmer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Last March, Twitch let go of roughly 400 staffers, and it cut some employees in its customer experience division last October. Amazon has undergone the largest layoffs in its history, cutting 27,000 employees since 2022. The cuts have been ongoing, with Amazon announcing layoffs in its Prime Video and MGM Studios units on Wednesday. So while the Twitch business remains strong, for some time now the organization has been sized based upon where we optimistically expect our business to be in 3 or more years, not where we're at today. If your role is affected by this decision and you live in the US, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, or Singapore.

☆ Franchisers, Facing Challenges to Business Model, Punch Back
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Lydia Depillis | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Matthew Haller, chief executive of the International Franchise Association, cited a 2021 survey by the market research firm Franchise Business Review in which 82 percent of franchisees said they supported their corporate leadership. Hotel franchisees, squeezed by lost revenue during pandemic lockdowns, say they have also been hurt by the hotel brands’ loyalty programs, which require the hotelier to rent rooms at a reduced rate. “There comes a point when you’ve tried and tried to meet with the franchisers to ask for changes, and they refuse to listen,” she said. In Arizona, legislation introduced to enhance franchisees’ ability to sell their businesses and prevent retaliation from franchisers if they band together in associations has also faced resistance. The bill was approved by two committees in February and March, but the International Franchise Association hired two lobbying firms to fight it.

Twitch has laid off staff on its recruiting team as it plans to reduce hiring in 2023. No additional cuts will be made as a result of the ongoing layoffs at parent company Amazon, a spokesperson said. Twitch has conducted layoffs on its recruiting team, a company spokesperson confirmed to Insider, adding that the decision reflects its plans to reduce hiring in 2023. The Twitch spokesperson noted that only the recruiting team was impacted, and that the cuts were not the result of parent company Amazon's ongoing layoff plans. At least four LinkedIn users who identified themselves as former Twitch employees publicly shared that they'd been laid off.
☆ Cyberattack on InterContinental Hotels Disrupts Business at Franchisees

Hotel owners complain they received one email from IHG executives explaining that the attack would shut down online reservation systems. We remain focused on supporting our hotels and owners and throughout this period have communicated regular updates to owners and hotel teams,” an IHG Hotels & Resorts spokesperson said. Hotel owners said they dealt with angry customers whose reservations were lost due to the cyberattack. IHG franchisees pay monthly fees to use the company’s reservation technology, the lawsuit says.

"The quality of life in Thailand compared to the United States, is much better for 90% of things and more stress-free," he says.

"You've got the street-level city, which is your food vendors, people running to work, taxis and motorbikes," he says.
