Spotify announced plans Monday to slash its headcount by 6% as part of a drive to boost efficiency at the world’s largest music streaming service.

Announcing what he called the ”difficult but necessary” decision in a blog post, CEO Daniel Ek said the challenging economic environment meant the company needed to cut costs, noting that growth in operational spending had been outpacing revenue growth 2-1.

With a workforce of about 10,000, the cuts will mean about 600 people will lose their jobs company-wide. Ek said affected employees would be informed today.

Tech Titans were deliberately overstaffed and deliberately bloated the ego of the employees to do this.

They wat tens of thousands of spoiled rotten brats making demand of authority outside themselves to fix it for them.
