TikTok to lay off 250 employees and shutter Nashville office

The New York Times Business reports that TikTok will lay off 250 employees in an office in Nashville that includes content moderation work.

The outlet says TikTok did not provide a detailed reason for the layoffs, and that the move will shutter the Nashville office.

The report indicates the company’s headcount reduction is tied to the closure of that specific office rather than an announced restructuring plan with specific drivers.
