July 11, 2023   Today we’re making some significant changes at Matterport to help us achieve our strategic priorities faster and more efficiently. As part of our ongoing effort to optimize our global workforce and improve operating efficiency, we are reorganizing to streamline business operations. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to eliminate certain roles across the company, and start the process to evaluate possible redundancies in EMEA.  We are saying goodbye to world-class professionals who will go on to do incredible things in their careers, and we will support them in the best way we can. I send my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each and every Matterpeep that has helped shape the very special, industry-leading company we are today. --- The text continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com): https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18861/page/1/layoffs-announced-by-matterport-ceo-rj-pittman--11-july-2023/
