Pandora Radio to Lay Off 7 Percent of U.S. Staff

The streaming Internet radio provider will likely cut 100-150 employees by the end of the first quarter in 2017. With the word “discipline” appearing in founder Tim Westergren’s comments, Pandora announced via an 8K filing today that seven percent of its U.S. workforce — not including Ticketfly — is being laid off in the coming weeks as part of a “reduction in force plan.”
