In response to recent market uncertainty and a challenging economic outlook, DocuSign, a company recognized worldwide for its electronic signature services, has announced a 6% cut in its workforce of approximately 400 employees. This move follows similar cost-cutting actions by other technology companies in an effort to optimize resources and reduce costs.
This decision comes in the midst of a potential acquisition of the company by Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman, an acquisition that has been stymied and has negatively impacted the company’s stock value.
This is not the first time DocuSign has reduced its workforce in recent years. In both 2022 and 2023 there were staff cuts of up to 10%. This round of layoffs will mainly affect employees in the sales and marketing departments.
This announcement comes against a backdrop of economic uncertainty in which many technology and media companies have been affected by the pandemic. Despite the high demand for its services due to the need for remote and digital processing and operations, DocuSign has also been forced to reduce its workforce to ensure the success of its operations.
