The company wide cuts at MySpace have hit the UK. The boss of the social networking whatnot's non-US operations, Travis Katz, is out on his arse, and rumour has it his workforce of 400 will now be cut to 150, who will presumably report directly into the company's new US-based senior management. It is not clear what that will mean for the 40 UK-based MySpace staff. The global cuts follow the axing of 420 jobs earlier in the month at the MySpace US operation, taking their head count below 1000. You do have to wonder what nearly 2000 people did at a company that relies mainly on its users to generate content, but I'm sure they all worked very, very, very hard.
