上周,雅虎(Yahoo)裁減了約1000名員工,約占員工總數(shù)12%,這是科技行業(yè)裁員潮中雅虎第一輪裁員,之后還將推進重組廣告技術部門的大規(guī)模計劃。
雅虎目前由阿波羅全球管理公司(Apollo Global Management)掌控,公司發(fā)言人表示計劃2023年底前將雅虎商業(yè)廣告技術部門員工人數(shù)削減近50%,約占雅虎員工總數(shù)超過20%。
“最近各項變動的目標都是為該部門未來制定更好的商業(yè)計劃,”雅虎首席執(zhí)行官吉姆·蘭佐內(nèi)接受采訪時表示。“多年來雅虎一直在努力改善業(yè)績,但作為獨立公司,我們必須誠實思考資源配置的方式。”
一直以來數(shù)字廣告提供商總得應付說變就變的客戶,因為客戶擔心經(jīng)濟環(huán)境的不確定性。雅虎重組后將創(chuàng)建名叫雅虎廣告(Yahoo Advertising)的新部門,旗下廣告銷售團隊將主要關注本公司業(yè)務,包括雅虎財經(jīng)(YahooFinance)、雅虎新聞(YahooSnews)和雅虎體育(Yahoo-Sports)等。
蘭佐內(nèi)表示,公司“利潤狀況非常好”,還補充說裁員主要原因是部門重組,而不是因為廣告市場上遇到麻煩。“哪怕是市場最繁榮的時候,一樣會做出這些改變,”他說。
蘭佐內(nèi)表示,雅虎“仍在積極招聘”,而且被裁撤的員工有機會在公司內(nèi)部轉(zhuǎn)至其他崗位。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Yahoo Inc. will eliminate about 1,000 jobs beginning this week, or roughly 12% of its employees, the first round of cuts in a larger plan to restructure its advertising tech division amid a wave of layoffs in the industry.
The company, owned by Apollo Global Management Inc., plans to reduce headcount at its Yahoo for Business ad tech unit by almost 50% by the end of 2023, or more than 20% of the workforce at Yahoo, a company spokesperson said.
“These changes announced today are entirely within the context of creating a better business plan for that division going forward,” Chief Executive Officer Jim Lanzone said Thursday in an interview. “The company has taken many bites of the apple here in trying to make it work over the years, but as a standalone company we had to take a very honest view in how we apply our resources.”
Digital advertising providers have had to grapple with skittish customers who are concerned about the uncertain economic climate. Yahoo’s restructuring will create a new division called Yahoo Advertising, which will focus ad sales teams on the company’s properties, including Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News and Yahoo Sports.
The company is “very profitable,” Lanzone said, adding that the job cuts were due more to the division’s restructuring than troubles in the ad market. “We would’ve made these changes even at the peak of the market,” he said.
Yahoo is “still hiring aggressively,” Lanzone said, and employees who lose their jobs will be considered for other roles at the company.
