杰克·多爾西告訴音樂流媒體應用Tidal的員工,他們將再次面臨大規(guī)模裁員。
Block公司(音樂流媒體平臺Tidal的所有者)首席執(zhí)行官周三上午在給員工的一封聲明中表示,Tidal需要“再次以初創(chuàng)公司的方式”運營。《財富》雜志也看到了這份聲明。多爾西說,這意味著公司各部門要以“更精簡的團隊”運營。
多爾西在聲明中解釋道:“因此,我們將解雇部分團隊成員,以工程和設(shè)計為主導,徹底取消產(chǎn)品管理和營銷職能。我們將縮減設(shè)計團隊和支持TIDAL的基礎(chǔ)職位,并在未來幾周內(nèi),根據(jù)新領(lǐng)導層的明確指導方向,考慮縮減工程部門規(guī)模?!?/p>
多西沒有透露裁員人數(shù),但公司內(nèi)部人士猜測,裁員人數(shù)可能多達100人,約占Tidal員工總數(shù)的四分之一。
這是Tidal在不到一年的時間里第二次進行裁員。2023年12月,這家流媒體公司裁減了10%的員工。而在今年7月,多爾西告訴Block公司的員工,要為公司的全面重組做好準備,從而讓公司回到“我們作為一家公司最初的樣子”(據(jù)《財富》雜志當時報道)。
2021年,Block以約3億美元的價格收購了Tidal的多數(shù)股權(quán)。這家由Jay-Z(原名肖恩·科里·卡特(Shawn Corey Carter))創(chuàng)立的流媒體音樂服務(wù)公司,在來自Spotify和蘋果音樂等競爭對手的激烈競爭中,發(fā)展受阻。據(jù)路透社報道,2023年,一位法官駁回了股東針對該收購提起的訴訟,但指出“從各方面來看,這似乎是一個糟糕的商業(yè)決策”。
Tidal的一位發(fā)言人在給《財富》雜志的一份聲明中表示:“我們對TIDAL團隊進行了一些內(nèi)部調(diào)整,以更高效地為藝術(shù)家服務(wù)。這包括對業(yè)務(wù)和設(shè)計團隊進行人員優(yōu)化。我們將縮小團隊規(guī)模,集中精力在更核心的事務(wù)上,并以堅定不移的態(tài)度推進產(chǎn)品開發(fā)?!保ㄘ敻恢形木W(wǎng))

Jack Dorsey told staff at music streaming app Tidal that they’re in for another mass layoff.
The CEO of Block, which owns the music streaming platform, said in a note to staff Wednesday morning and viewed by Fortune that Tidal needs to operate “l(fā)ike a startup again.” This requires organizations across the company to operate with a “much smaller team,” Dorsey said.
“So we’re going to part ways with a number of folks on our team,” Dorsey explained in the note. “We’re going to lead with engineering and design, and remove the product management and product marketing functions entirely. We’re reducing the size of our design team and foundational roles supporting TIDAL, and we will consider reducing engineering over the next few weeks as we have more clarity around leadership going forward.”
Dorsey did not provide a number of the amount of people to be affected by the job cuts, but speculation among company insiders is that as many as 100 employees could be laid off, which would amount to roughly a quarter of Tidal’s staff.
This is the second layoff at tidal in less than a year. The streamer cut 10% of its staff in December 2023. And in July, Dorsey told Block staff to prepare for a reorganization of the entire company, in order to take Block back “to how we started as a company,” as Fortune reported at the time.
Block acquired a majority stake in Tidal for roughly $300 million in 2021. The streaming music service was founded by Jay-Z but struggled to gain traction, amid competition from Spotify and Apple music. In 2023 a judge dismissed a shareholder lawsuit against Block over the acquisition according to Reuters, but noted that “it seemed, by all accounts, a terrible business decision.”
A Tidal spokesperson said in a statement to Fortune: “We have made some internal changes to our TIDAL team to focus on serving artists in the most meaningful way. This involved the elimination of some roles across our business and design teams. We are going to be smaller, focus on fewer things, and move with a relentless approach to product development.”
