Pinterest Fires Employees for Tracking Layoffs

Pinterest has fired two engineers for creating a tool to track which employees were affected by recent layoffs, according to multiple reports. The company, which recently announced job cuts impacting approximately 15% of its workforce, or roughly 700 roles, took action after the engineers reportedly used custom scripts to improperly access confidential company information.

The layoffs were announced by Pinterest CEO Bill Ready, who stated in an email that the company was "doubling down on an AI-forward approach," according to an employee who posted part of the memo on LinkedIn. Pinterest did not initially specify which teams or workers would be affected by the job cuts.

According to reports, the engineers developed the tool to identify the locations and names of all dismissed employees. The company considered this an improper access of confidential information, leading to their termination.
