Chegg to slash 22% of staff, closing North American offices in 2025
What’s going on at Chegg?
Chegg is planning to eliminate approximately 22 per cent of its workforce, or around 248 jobs, as part of a restructuring.
The company, an online education firm that offers textbook rentals, homework help, and tutoring, has reportedly been grappling with a concerning decline in web traffic and students increasingly shifting to AI-powered tools.
In addition to scaling back its staffing levels, Chegg is planning to shutter its offices in Canada and the U.S. by the end of the year.
