“Another day, another FUD,” Changpeng Zhao Trashes Binance Layoff Rumors

Changpeng Zhao Trashes Layoff Rumors – Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao has responded to a rumor going viral about a possible staff layoff at his cryptocurrency firm. In his response, he simply called it “Another day, another FUD.”

How the rumor started

Independent crypto reporter Colin Wu tweeted on May 31 that he confirmed through multiple sources that the world’s largest crypto exchange by trade volume, Binance, was planning to lay off some of its staff.

Even though the details of the layoff were not concrete, the rumors have it that the proportion of the layoff is about 20%. See the tweet below:

Furthermore, Wu added that the reason for layoffs might be attributed to the general poor market. Also, the compensation plan for layoff staff will be created according to different criteria.

“The compensation plan will be formulated according to different situations in different places. However, some departments are still continuing to recruit. The layoffs may be related to the poor overall market and the large expansion before,” Wu said.

Later, he added a Binance answer that The Block had mentioned. It mentioned how regular staff reviews might result in layoffs if performance standards are not fulfilled or if there is a mismatch with the corporate culture.
