January 27, 2026
Pinterest plans to lay off under 15% of its workforce, as part of broader restructuring that arrives as the image-sharing platform pivots more of its money to artificial intelligence. In a Tuesday filing, the company says these cuts support “transformation initiatives,” which include reallocating resources to AI roles and products. Pinterest also says it will reduce office space. The restructuring is expected to finish by the end of September, with pretax charges of $35 million to $45 million. Pinterest’s job cuts will impact hundreds of workers. Shares of Pinterest fell more than 9% as of midday trading Tuesday.
