Here's the severance package TikTok offered to laid-off workers in its Nashville office, which is shutting down
TikTok is letting go of 250 workers in its Nashville office. Many of the staffers worked on trust and safety for its US business.
TikTok is shedding 250 employees from its Nashville office, which is set to shut down in October. The company is offering one month of severance pay, plus an additional month of pay for each year the employee has worked at the company. Many of the laid-off staff members focused on trust and safety for TikTok's US business. The Nashville office is closing to streamline operations and better align teams for long-term growth.
TikTok's severance package is in line with recent layoffs at other media and tech firms. The company emailed Nashville workers on August 5, informing them of the layoff, and then shared more details during an office-wide video call. Some employees were already at the office before the announcement and were escorted out. The layoff caught some employees off guard, while others were not surprised by the news.
