Apple gadget software maker Jamf has revealed that it will slash six per cent of its workforce as it chases “profitable growth”.
Jamf last reported its staff numbers at the end of 2022, with 2,796 employees. If its staff size has stayed the same, the six per cent cull would hit about 170 Jamf workers.
A Jamf spokesperson said this number is “roughly right” for the staff affected.
In the document, Jamf said that its “workforce reduction plan” is “meant to cut costs, boost margins, and keep pushing the Company’s ongoing pledge to profitable growth”.
Jamf joins a long list of tech firms that have axed staff over the last two years amid economic turmoil and other pressures.
Recent news included Google’s confession that it will sack a “few hundred” workers in its ad sales team and Veeam’s announcement of layoffs affecting 300 workers in sales, marketing, and admin roles.
