Change.org Is Laying Off A Lot Of People
Change.org is making some dramatic moves right now. Yahoo Finance has learned that the petition site is laying off its entire business development team.
Change.orge, who has over 157 million users, is making changes in their revenue model– a B Corporation, which is a for-profit business focused on social or environmental issues.
According to two former employees, the company’s lay off affects nearly 17% of the organization which is about 58 employees out of nearly 325 employees in all.
24 employees were immediately laid off this summer and the remaining 34 employees are expected to leave the company by 2017.
Yahoo Finance has also learned several members of Change.org’s recruiting team have also been let go.
