FILE – The Spotify app on an iPad is pictured, March 20, 2018, in Baltimore. Heardle, the name-that-tune game inspired by the Wordle craze, is being dropped by Spotify less than a year after the music-streaming giant acquired it. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Heardle,” Spotify said in a statement, Saturday, April 15, 2023.
Spotify still has some remaining team members in the Boston area following the third round of layoffs the company did this year.
In a public filing, the music streaming service headquartered in Sweden (NYSE: SPOT) reported Monday that it plans to reduce its employee base by approximately 17% in a push to reach "meaningful operating efficiencies."
