Vice Media is laying off 10 percent of its staff as part of a plan to become profitable.
The company will cut about 250 people of its 2,500-person staff, and those cuts will span all departments, including nonwriter and editor positions, like IT and finance divisions, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
CEO Nancy Dubuc announced the plan in an email to employees Friday morning.
“Having finalized the 2019 budget, our focus shifts to executing our goals and hitting our marks,” Dubuc wrote. “We will make Vice the best manifestation of itself and cement its place long into the future.”
Last year, Vice implemented a hiring freeze, and in October, Dubuc told the Hollywood Reporter about her plans to tighten Vice’s spending and put it on a path toward profitability, adding that she was “not going to rule out more” layoffs.
Laid off workers will be given 10 weeks severance and medical benefits.
Employees in the U.S., Canada, and U.K., that are being laid off will be notified at some point Friday, and all other cuts globally will take place in the next few weeks.

Several media outlets have suffered recently and have engaged in mass layoffs due to either financial strain or restructuring efforts. Huffington Post nixed both its health and opinion sections and laid off the staff that fell under those beats.
BuzzFeed also announced last week that it would be cutting 15 percent of its staff, amounting to about 250 employees, in an effort to become profitable, which it has not been for several years, and help put the company in a position for a potential merger.
Gannett, which owns USA Today, also recently laid off at least several dozen of its employees at newspapers across the country.
