While the winters are receding and nearing an end, the winter lay-off season of tech biggies across the globe does not seem to recede anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Yuan, the chief executive of Zoom said in the latest official blog that the affected employees will be given company\u2019s benefits, including a salary of up to 16 months, along with healthcare coverage and restricted stock units, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuan has called the affected employees as \u2018hard-working and talented colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you are a US-based employee who is impacted, you will receive an email to your Zoom and personal inboxes in the next 30 minutes that reads [IMPACTED] Departing Zoom: What You Need to Know. Non-US employees will be notified following local requirements,” said Yuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for ‘Zoomies’ outside the US will be similar and will take into account local laws, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We built Zoom to remove the friction that businesses felt when collaborating. Our trajectory was forever changed during the pandemic when the world faced one of its toughest challenges, and I am proud of the way we mobilized as a company to keep people connected,\u201d said the chief executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this possible, the company is in dire need of staffing up soon for supporting the quick rise of users on the company\u2019s platform and their evolving needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin 24 months, Zoom grew 3x in size to manage this demand while enabling continued innovation,” added Yuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
