“Like so many companies that are feeling the effects of the macroeconomic downturn, Rackspace is no exception,” Casey Shilling, chief marketing officer, was quoted as saying.

“During this uncertain time, it is important that we align our cost structure to the demands of the business.This requires some elimination of roles across the company,” she added.

The company said that it will provide severance and other resources to those employees who are laid off, the report mentioned.

Meanwhile, Swiss technology firm Logitech has laid off 300 employees amid the challenging global macroeconomic environment.

According to Logitech President and CEO Bracken Darrell, the slump in the business was due to a challenging global broader macroeconomic environment and “lower enterprise and consumer spending”.

Logitech had 8,200 employees as of March 2022.
