Social media company TikTok could cut as many as 300 jobs from its Irish workforce as part of a restructuring at the Irish headquarters. The company said the proposed restructuring would allow TikTok to shift internal resources away from legacy frontline tasks and toward higher-skilled, specialised positions.The precise number of jobs that will be lost is not yet known. A collective consultation is currently underway, which could lead to the retention of some of the at-risk roles. However, it is expected that the net figure will be 300. The company is also proposing to create hundreds of new specialist trust and safety jobs in Dublin, with some of the affected staff likely to move to those new roles. It also follows a similar reduction in staff numbers announced in March last year at the Irish operation. Do you think that employment is becoming a slipperly affair ?
