Scaler lays off 20-25% of their workforce

Edtech layoffs still continuing?

Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.

Ah damn that is big Scaler was truly one of the promising Edtech plays, I know there have been negative sentiments, but believe me they’re much better than Byjus and Unacademy

Sad to see another one…

They spent more money on YouTube ads than making the company a better place. Now they will hire some more random actors to do their ads instead of teaching staff 😂.

I am one of employee effected with this layoff today morning. Just like any other day I tried to log in to slack and gmail but unable to do so and my colleague informed me that my slack is deactivated but then after few hours they have clearly informed me on a meet that I am laid off this is not because of my performance more like an issue with the company's financial situation and severance will be paid. End of the day its a sad thing for any employee to go through which will make them question their self worth. But they gave me closure instead of leaving me hanging for confirmation😕

Shit. Shit. Shit.
I confirmed this, this is fr.

And scaler has employees, but mostly sales & biz people.
And they laid off great peeps. This is scary shit.
I remember somebody posted how Scaler is not doing good, and is toxic. Maybe they saw something?

Bro they laid off higher level people as well.
