TikTok is considering cutting about 300 jobs at its European hub in Dublin, following a similarly sized round of layoffs last year.
The tech firm, owned by ByteDance Ltd., may restructure the country’s AI data service and operations team and consolidate quality assurance activities into other regional hubs, according to an email to staff on Wednesday reviewed by Bloomberg News.
A spokesperson for TikTok said some at-risk staff would be offered other positions and that the proposed restructuring would also create new roles, leading to an overall headcount reduction of about 300.
“We are exploring a reorganization to strengthen our global operating model for trust and safety, including proposals to evolve the way we work to ensure teams remain scalable and agile,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
TikTok informed the government in March 2025 that it planned to cut about 300 workers in Dublin, or about 10% of its staff, the Irish Times reported at the time. Dublin is a hub for TikTok’s trust and safety operations, including content moderation and data protection.
Dublin, which is a major European hub for foreign tech companies, including TikTok, Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., has been hit hard by staff cuts in recent years, as firms restructure to prioritize artificial intelligence investment. That was the cause of another round of job cuts at Meta, affecting 20% of the Irish workforce, higher than the 10% global average.
