About 1,271 people, roughly 22% of the workforce, are affected by layoffs, role changes or relocation to centralized hubs such as Sydney, per reports. Outlets did not give a separate count for layoffs alone.
According to reports, Perkins wrote that growth has slowed for the first time in a decade and that new technology is transforming what people can create.
Reports say departing staff get at least six months of salary, twelve months of continued healthcare coverage and career support.
