Sumo Group to lay off up to 15 percent of staff in cost reduction effort

Sumo Digital parent company Sumo Group will lay off up to 15 percent of staff across Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland, Czech Republic, and India in an effort to reshape operations and reduce costs, the company announced.

“Whilst Sumo has been able to manage through many of the recent difficulties the games industry has faced, we have not been immune and reshaping operations across the business to better navigate the upcoming challenges expected in the coming months is a path we must now take to ensure the security of the business going forward,” the company said in the announcement.

“The difficult decision to reduce our costs across the business in a number of ways is a direct result of these challenges, and unfortunately will include a reduction in the number of people the business can support. Every alternate route to limit the impact to our people is being considered but sadly this process of transformation will affect up to 15 percent of our people across the Group in Canada, United Kingdom, Poland, Czech Republic and India.”
