Today MRY confirmed a series of tips we’ve received regarding layoffs that primarily affected its tech department last week.
In what looks like a strategic shift, the agency let several members of that team go. Tips consistently tell us that six developers are no longer employed at MRY as of last Thursday.
Here’s the official statement from CMO David Berkowitz:
“We unfortunately did have to part ways with a few of our colleagues earlier this month as part of normal reshaping based on industry demand. MRY continues to grow, though, and we have 15 open positions right now across a number of departments.”
None of the positions listed at that link concern developers, suggesting that this news marks a move away from web programming for MRY.
No staffers outside the tech department were affected.
(For context, MRY completed its merger with LBi in February 2013 and earned an inside-the-office profile from Digiday in June of that year.)
