Microsoft-owned GitHub announced today that it will lay off 10% of its workforce by the end of the company’s fiscal year. Prior to this announcement, GitHub had approximately 3,000 employees. The company will also close all offices at the end of leases and move to a remote-first culture, partly due to low utilization.

GitHub will also continue the hiring freeze it first announced in January and will also make a number of other internal changes to “protect the short-term health” of its business.

“We announced a number of difficult but necessary decisions and budgetary realignments to both protect the health of our business in the short term and grant us the capacity to invest in our long-term strategy moving forward. You can view our CEO’s full message to employees with additional details on these changes below,” a company spokesperson told to techcrunch.

In a slightly unusual move for a company that prides itself on being independent of its corporate owners, GitHub will also be moving to Teams for its video conferencing needs. And in another sign of cost savings, we’re changing our laptop upgrade cycle from 3 to 4 years.
