PayPal Plans to Cut 20% of Workforce as CEO Seeks to Revamp

PayPal Holdings Inc. plans to cut around 20% of its workforce in the next two to three years, according to a person familiar with the matter, as new Chief Executive Officer Enrique Lores seeks to reduce costs and turn around the payments company. PayPal employed around 23,800 people at the end of the year, meaning a workforce reduction of that size could eliminate more than 4,500 jobs. It’s part of the company’s plan to realize at least $1.5 billion in savings over the next two to three years, according to a statement Tuesday.
