Big layoffs are coming to Airtable. Airtable's new owner, Italian tech conglomerate Bending Spoons, said Monday it is laying off a "large part" of the software company as it reshapes the business around smaller teams and AI features. In an X post , Federico Simionato, Bending Spoons' product leader, said the cuts were not a reflection of employees' work but of the company's "deep belief that small teams ship more and better." "To everyone leaving: thank you. If you're hiring, these are excellent people and worth a call," Simionato said.
