The creator subscription company Patreon is the latest company to be affected by a long line of tech layoffs.

CEO Jack Conte wrote in a letter to staff — cross-posted to Patreon’s blog — that 17% of the staff will be laid off. This affects the Go-to-Market, Operations, Finance and People teams. Patreon will also close its Berlin office, which worked on sales and marketing. The Dublin office will close as well, since Patreon wants to consolidate its engineering efforts in the U.S. — the nine engineers working in Dublin will be offered relocation packages. All affected employees will be offered at least three months of severance pay, plus COBRA health benefits for U.S. employees for the rest of the year.
