He emphasized the importance of constructive debate but criticized behavior that he deemed “obstructionist.” The CEO then proceeded to dismiss the involved engineers.\nAt a follow-up meeting, Pinterest's chief technology officer discussed the layoffs, which led employees to ask which teams were impacted and whether more cuts were planned. Soon after, a group of engineers built an internal tool to track the scale of the layoffs, and they were dismissed on Friday.\nReady defended these actions at an all-hands meeting, citing a “critical moment” in the industry. He suggested that employees who oppose the company’s direction should consider seeking employment elsewhere.\nThe CEO said Pinterest would not disclose detailed layoff information due to privacy concerns for its staff and that more details would be communicated at the team level.\nPinterest also appointed former Meta executive Damian Kim as vice president of APAC enterprise sales to drive regional growth.\nBenzinga’s Edge Rankings place Pinterest in the 95th percentile for growth and the 66th percentile for value, reflecting its strong performance.
