The news comes from a Spotify employee who anonymously told The Blind that the company is getting rid of nearly 75% of its talent acquisition team at its global office.
Around 150 of 200 people are going to be fired with 3 weeks of severance pay.
The anonymous employee said that only those on probation received 3 weeks of severance pay. The rest were given 2 months of severance pay and then a 2-month pay lump sum in addition to that.

The nameless source was one of the people who were removed from Spotify.
The report comes only a few days after Meta and Twitter got rid of thousands of employees.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that Facebook is planning to get rid of more than 3000 employees, which is much larger than its rival social network Twitter. The layoffs are expected to start tomorrow.
