Snap, parent company of the popular social media platform Snapchat, confirmed on Monday it plans to lay off 10% of its workforce globally.

The Santa Monica, California-based technology company confirmed the news to USA TODAY on Monday.

"We are reorganizing our team to reduce hierarchy and promote in-person collaboration," a Snap spokesperson wrote. "We are focused on supporting our departing team members and we are very grateful for their hard work and many contributions to Snap."

Snap joins a host of other tech companies that have begun 2024 with job cuts, including Google, Microsoft, Twitch, eBay and more. But the job market as a whole blew past expectations in January, with employers adding a booming 353,000 jobs as the unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%.

According to a regulatory filing, Snapchat expects it will incur pre-tax charges ranging from $55 million to $75 million, which will consist of severance costs and "other future expenditures" expected to take place during the first quarter, according to a regulatory filing signed by Chief Financial Officer Derek Anderson.

Snap has offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, according to its website.
