美版“大众点评”Yelp裁员1000人,另有1100人临时下岗

Yelp此次解雇和临时下岗的员工占公司总员工数量的35%。

总部位于旧金山的商户点评网站Yelp于4月10日宣布,将裁员1000人,另外1100名员工将临时下岗。据知情人士透露,此次裁员预计将持续四个月。该人士未获得授权发表意见。

Yelp此次解雇和临时下岗的员工占公司总员工数量的35%。2019年12月,该公司公布的员工人数为5950人。

有知情者告诉《财富》杂志,Yelp此次调整的幅度很大,有一些之前的管理人员被调任到一线销售岗位,有总监级别的高管被降级到管理岗位。

一位Yelp发言人在向《财富》杂志提供的声明中表示:“社交隔离和居家隔离政策对于防止新型冠状病毒传播至关重要,但这些政策对我们的核心客户产生了毁灭性的影响。各地商户迅速停工,直接影响了我们的业务,而且影响的程度和持续时间还不得而知。为了确保Yelp能够度过此次危机,并做好充分准备在一切恢复正常时能够服务社区,我们必须大幅削减运营成本。”

Yelp CEO兼联合创始人杰里米·斯托普尔曼在今天上午写给员工的邮件(邮件内容后来被公开发布)中称此次裁员是“迫不得已”,他还表示“今天对所有人来说都是糟糕的一天。”

斯托普尔曼在邮件中称,除特别说明的情况外,临时下岗的员工将无薪休假。但在无薪休假期间,他们可以保留大部分福利,并可领取两周额外工资。

Yelp表示,公司已经削减了服务器成本,取消了正在开展的项目,并将高管薪酬降低了20%至30%。斯托普尔曼表示,他今年不再领取工资,也不会授予股票期权。

Yelp尤其容易受到新冠疫情的影响,因为该公司的大部分收入都来自向小企业出售广告和其他服务,但如今在世界大部分地区,其服务的小企业已经大部分或者全部关闭。Yelp报告称,自3月10日以来,消费者对餐厅类点评服务的搜索热度下降了64%,对夜生活类点评的兴趣锐减81%,对美容类商户的兴趣减少了73%。

在4月9日向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件中,Yelp表示,从3月上半月到下半月,其家政服务、专业服务、汽车服务等服务类业务的流量减少了40%。Yelp表示这些服务是公司收入的主要来源。

在2019年年度收益报告中,Yelp公布的年收入为2.688亿美元,利润4090万美元。(财富中文网)

Crowd-sourced review website Yelp announced this morning that it will lay off 1,000 workers and furlough an additional 1,100 employees. The staff cuts are currently expected to last four months, says a source familiar with the changes but unauthorized to comment.

Yelp's layoffs and furloughs constitute 35% of the company's staff of 5,950, reported in December 2019.

Sources tell Fortune the restructuring will be substantial, with some staff previously in managerial positions being moved into front-line sales roles, and some at the director level taking on lower-level managerial roles.

“The physical distancing measures and shelter-in-place orders that are critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19 have had a devastating impact on the businesses that are core to our mission,” a Yelp spokesperson said in a statement provided to Fortune. “This rapid shutdown of local economies has directly affected our business, and the magnitude and duration of the impact are unknown. To ensure that Yelp can weather this crisis and be best positioned to serve the community when the recovery begins, we must significantly reduce our operating costs.”

In a note sent to employees this morning and since posted publicly, Yelp CEO and co-founder Jeremy Stoppelman described the cuts as “a last resort,” writing that “today is an awful day for all of us.”

Stoppelman's note says that employees on furlough will be put on unpaid leave, unless otherwise noted. They will retain the bulk of their benefits during this time and receive two weeks of additional pay.

Yelp says it has also reduced expenses including servers and ongoing projects, and cut executive pay by 20%-30%. Stoppelman says he will not take a salary or vest stock options for the remainder of the year.

Yelp is particularly vulnerable to the impact of coronavirus because much of its revenue relies on selling advertising and other services to small businesses that are now largely or entirely shut down across much of the world. Yelp reports that search interest in restaurants has dropped 64% since March 10, while nightlife interest is down 81%, and beauty businesses are down 73%.

In an SEC filing on April 9, Yelp also said that traffic in its services category, including home, professional, and automotive services, declined 40% from the first half of March to the second half of the month. Those services, according to the company, account for a majority of Yelp’s revenue.

In its 2019 annual earnings report, Yelp reported $268.8 million in revenue for the year, and profit of $40.9 million.
