RealNetworks cuts a few jobs |
Follow the ups and downs of a new Seattle startup in a series of behind-the-scenes posts by its founders.
It's not anything like the 7.5 percent workforce reduction made by the company last year, but RealNetworks has made a "very small" number of additional job cuts, company spokesman Bill Hankes confirmed this afternoon. Fewer than 10 positions were cut in the company's media software group in Seattle as part of the routine reorganization, he said.
The Seattle-based digital media company employed about 1,670 people total following its decision to cut 130 jobs in December. It hasn't made any other significant job reductions since then, Hankes said.
The media software group includes the RealPlayer digital media program, among other products and teams. Earlier this week the company released a new version of the software, RealPlayer SP, with features including the ability to easily transfer videos downloaded from YouTube and other sites to mobile devices for offline playback.
