Online payment platform PayPal is planning to cut about 2,500 jobs or 9% of its global workforce in 2024, Reuters reports.

“We are doing this to right-size our business, allowing us to move with the speed needed to deliver for our customers and drive profitable growth,” Chriss wrote in the letter.
