Cheezburger Network Cuts 24 Jobs

Posted on April 30, 2013

The Cheezburger network is cutting 24 jobs, which is about 35% of its workforce. The company is known for sites like Fail Blog, Daily What and off course, LOL Cats and other LOL animals at I Can Has Cheezburger. GeekWire reports that the job cuts come as the network is dealing with how people view content, from on website to over mobile devices. Ad rates tend to be smaller over mobile devices. Facebook also suffered from a problem with mobile ads when its stock plunged shortly after its IPO.

Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh said in a statement, "Eliminating these positions was a difficult decision. For Cheezburger to fulfill its promise, we need to be nimble and innovate on one platform optimized for any device, everywhere. Bringing our team in-house and streamlining operations will help us realize that vision."

The network still has a couple Seattle positions listed on its job site.
