The TechCrunch website reported on Thursday that YouTube will eliminate 100 positions.
The layoffs follow parent company Google’s elimination of 1,000 jobs across its engineering, services, and Google Assistant divisions.
The company’s chief business officer Mary Ellen Coe stated in the internal memo making the announcement that the 100 employees being laid off will have the opportunity to apply for other positions at the company.
A spokesperson from Google stated to The New York Times that “we’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead.”
