With TwitchCon right around the corner, Twitch employees have revealed that their jobs are “at risk”. The Amazon-owned company has developed a notorious reputation for firing employees in recent times and said trend seems to have continued as several employees have revealed they could potentially join the list of employees who have been exited.
Employees have taken to X to announce the situation over at Twitch. They claim that even though there is no official word about them getting fired, the higher-ups have left them at a cliffhanger. This news breaks with a week life for TwitchCon and the fact that they are unwilling to retain employees over concerns economic or otherwise and host million-dollar events has shocked the community.
While many employees have expressed their gratitude for surviving the layoff wave, others have revealed that they have been notified about their positions being at risk and it’s unlikely that they will make the cut. The Twitch community has expressed their condolences and thanked the employees for helping build Twitch into what it is today.
We can only hope that the economic situation surrounding Twitch turns around and a wave of mass layoffs comes to an end. Entire Silicon Valley is witnessing arguably the biggest layoff wave in history and Twitch is no exception. While there are deep-rooted reasons behind the situation the community finds it is very difficult to justify million-dollar carnivals when you cannot afford to retain your employees.
