Generous or Dignified Layoffs
-
First installment: Canva, 2026 Q4; 1,271 people affected (22% of pre-layoff headcount)
https://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-team-update/
- 6 months of salary
- 12 months of healthcare
- 10,000 USD a piece for those who want to start their own business or doing something meaningful for their local community, and Canva will not take any equity in what they build
- Continued access to Slack and email so people have time to say proper goodbyes
As far as layoffs go, this is pretty generous and dignified way of doing it.
