The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the Australian society of crypto games, unchangeable, will lay off 11% of its personnel on Feb. 22.
Immutable’s CEO, James Ferguson, reportedly blamed the decision on the company’s need to maximize its reserves and prioritize essential projects.
The workers affected would be offered an average of 10 weeks' severance pay, the possibility of retaining more shares in the company, laptops, consultancy, mentoring and retraining services. The report goes on to say that affected employees in the U.S. would have access to health care from the company.
Immutable previously laid off multiple employees in 2022 due to the challenging market conditions at the time.
