Cloud storage giant Dropbox today joined the fray of tech companies announcing layoffs. The company today announced that it would be laying off 16% of its staff, equivalent to about 500 employees, due to slowing growth, and — in the words of CEO Drew Houston — because “the AI era of computing has finally arrived.”

These appear to be the first layoffs the company has made since January 2021, when it laid off 315 employees in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The latest cull was announced to staff in a memo from CEO and co-founder Drew Houston, as well as in an SEC filing.


The SEC filing noted that the company will incur charges of approximately $37 million to $42 million in connection with layoffs, which will be recorded in Q2. Q1 results, which will be reported next Thursday, May 4, will be in-line or even above expectations, it added.

Ironically, even with the strong results, and the fact that Dropbox is profitable, Houston said the company is choosing to take a preemptive step to cut jobs and invest in new areas to keep up with the pace of change, given that growth is slowing.

“While our business is profitable, our growth has been slowing. Part of this is due to the natural maturation of our existing businesses, but more recently, headwinds from the economic downturn have put pressure on our customers and, in turn, on our business. As a result, some investments that used to deliver positive returns are no longer sustainable,” he wrote.

The interesting thing is that he also cites AI as a major factor.


“Second, and more consequentially, the AI era of computing has finally arrived,” he continued. “We’ve believed for many years that AI will give us new superpowers and completely transform knowledge work. And we’ve been building towards this future for a long time, as this year’s product pipeline will demonstrate.”


For those who have been warning that AI will inevitably lead to the loss of more jobs, this will come as an alarming development. The more cynical might argue that it’s an easy and timely excuse for cutting costs right now, to keep the market and investors optimistic that Dropbox is changing with the times and itself won’t get disrupted in the next wave of innovation.

Houston said that impacted staff will be getting notified today and will be finished with work by tomorrow. The company had 3,125 employees prior to the move today.

More than 184,000 people have been laid off in the tech sector in 2023 across nearly 620 tech companies, according to the Layoffs.fyi tracker.

More to come.

cloud storage diggaj dropbox aaj tech companiyon ke maidan main shaamil ho gaye, jo chantni kii ghoshnaa kar rahe hai.company ne aaj ghoshnaa kii ki vah apane 16% karmchaariyon ko band kar degi, jo lagbhag 500 karmchaariyon ke baraabar he, dhimi gati se vikaas ke kaaran, or - siio dru huston ke shabdon main - kyonki "computing kaa eai yug aakhirkaar aa gaya he."

ye janvari 2021 ke baad se banaai gai pehali chantni lagati hai, jab isane kovid -19 mahamari ke gale main 315 karmchaariyon ko band kar diya tha.

naveenatam kall ko siio or sah-sansthaapak dru huston ke ek memo main karmchaariyon ke saath-saath ek esaisi filing main bhi ghoshit kiya gaya tha.


esaisi filing ne note kiya ki company chantni ke sambandh main lagbhag $ 37 million se $ 42 million ke shulk lagaati he, jo Q2 main darj kii jaaegi.Q1 parinaam, jo agle guuruuvaar, 4 may ko suchit kiya jayega, in-line yaa apekshaaon se upar bhi hoga, yah joda gaya.

vidambnaa yah he ki majboot parinaamon ke saath bhi, or yah tathy ki dropbox laabhadaayak he, huston ne kaha ki company naukariyon main katautee karne ke liye ek premeptive kadam uthaane or nae kshetron main nivesh karne ke liye chun rahi he, yah dekhte hue ki vikaas dhimaa he.

“jabaki hamaara vyavsaay laabhadaayak he, hamaari vruddhi dhimi ho rahi he.iskaa ek hissaa hamaare maujuuda vyavsaayon kii prakritik paripakvata ke kaaran he, lekin haal hi main, aarthik mandi ke hedwind ne hamaare graahakon par or badale main, hamaare vyavsaay par dabaav daalaa he.natijatan, kuch nivesh jo sakaaratmak ritern dene ke liye upyog karte the, ab tikaoo nahin hai, ”unhone likhaa.

dilachasp baat yah he ki vah eai ko ek pramukh kaarak ke rup main bhi uddhrut karata he.


"doosraa, or adhik parinamswaroop, computing kaa eai yug aakhirkaar aa gaya he," unhone jari rakhaa.“ham kai varshon se vishwaas karte hai ki eai hamen nae mahashaktiyon ko degaa or puri tarah se gyaan kaary ko badal degaa.or ham lambey samay se is bhavishya kii ore nirmaan kar rahe hai, kyonki is varsh kii utpaada pipeline pradarshit hogi. ”


un logon ke liye jo chetavanee de rahe hai ki eai anivaary rup se adhik naukariyon ke nuksaan kii ore le jayega, yah ek khatarnaak vikaas ke rup main aayega.adhik nandak yah tark de saktaa he ki yah abhi laagat main katautee ke liye ek aasaan or samay par bahaanaa he, bazaar or niveshkon ko ashaavadi rakhane ke liye ki dropbox samay ke saath badal rahaa he or khud ko navachaar kii agali lahar main baadhit nahin kiya gaya he.

huston ne kaha ki prabhavit karmchaariyon ko aaj suchit kiya jayega or kal tak kaam ke saath samaapt ho jayega.company ke paas aaj is kadam se pehle 3,125 karmchaaree the.

chantni ke anusaar, lagbhag 620 tech companiyon main 2023 main takneekee kshetra main 184,000 se adhik logon ko band kar diya gaya he.

or bhi aane ko he.
