Comixology reportedly lays off upwards of 75% of its staff.
After a massive redesign last year that left readers searching for other digital platforms to read their funny books on, Comixology is undergoing sizable layoffs. Wednesday, the Amazon-owned company let go of a sizable portion of the Comixology staff, with some former employees guessing anywhere from 50 to 75-percent of the workforce behind the once-thriving digital comics platform was met with a pink slip.
This morning, there were significant cuts to the Comixology staff. I have no numbers to share, but it looks like, from the outside, that at least 50% of the staff have been let go.— Scott January 18, 2023 While Comixology proper has yet to offer a statement on the staff shakeups, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy released a statement Wednesday afternoon clarifying the company's decision to lay off nearly 20,000 employees.
Prior to his hiring as Amazon CEO, Jassy served as the CEO of Amazon Web Services. He was personally appointed to his role by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos upon the executives retirement in 2020.
