eBay has announced it will cut 500 jobs around the world, which is around four percent of its workforce.
CEO Jamie Iannone said: “To create long-term, sustainable growth for eBay, we need to evolve our organization as we take the next step in our strategy.”
The news comes just hours after Zoom revealed 1,300 job cuts.

Iannone did not take responsibility for the layoffs like other CEOs, including those at Microsoft and Google, have done in recent months.
He also didn’t say whether the job cuts would be followed by reduced executive pay packages.
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said as part of the cost-cutting measures he would take a 98 percent pay cut.
