100 Thieves hit with another round of layoffs as org drops multiple key staff 100 Thieves100 Thieves has been hit with another round of layoffs to start 2023 as the prominent gaming, esports, and lifestyle brand has let go of multiple employees \u2013 including its Chief Revenue Officer. Despite 100 Thieves only just letting go a considerable chunk of its social media and content teams midway through last year, 2023 is continuing the sour note for the organization with further departures. Multiple staff members, mainly pertaining to the editing and VFX departments, all took to Twitter on January 10 to announce their final day under the 100 Thieves banners. Also among those impacted was the company\u2019s Chief Revenue Officer Matty Lee, a longstanding figure who had been part of the team\u2019s earliest figureheads since 2018. \u201cThis caps off the most concentrated period of personal and professional growth of my entire life,\u201d Lee said in a statement on LinkedIn shortly after news broke. Despite the difficult situation, he remains \u201cbullish\u201d on the company as a whole and expressed sincere gratitude to those still building 100 Thieves moving forward. \u201cMy cup overflows today and I can\u2019t say enough great things about the last 4.5 years, the lifelong friendships, and all that other mushy stuff.\u201d Meanwhile, others took to Twitter to outline their shock in light of the sudden layoffs. \u201cOverwhelmingly crushed,\u201d Senior Account Managed Jess Pak said. \u201cHeartbroken, scared, & uncertain, but excited to announce that I\u2019m hoping to make a career change into creative marketing.\u201d In some unfortunate timing, the editor responsible for 100 Thieves\u2019 new 2023 jersey reveal promotion was also among those laid off by the organization, the very day the video went live. \u201cToday was my last day at 100 Thieves, but not before producing and editing this piece,\u201d he said on Twitter. \u201cOpen to whatever the future holds for me.\u201d According to The Jacob Wolf Report, around 30 positions were eliminated as part of this round of layoffs. This represents approximately a sixth of the organization\u2019s workforce. Much like the last time around in June 2022, 100 Thieves have not issued a statement in response to the sudden layoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
