Front is cutting an undisclosed number of jobs to make its business more sustainable, according to Yahoo Finance. CEO Dan O'Connell disclosed the layoffs in a LinkedIn post but did not give a timetable for the departures.

Front did not provide details about severance or benefits. Its LinkedIn page lists a workforce of between 500 and 1,000 people.

The San Francisco company sells a customer service platform that combines support, sales, operations and AI agents. O'Connell did not announce any changes to the platform and encouraged other companies to hire departing employees. "I believe it's the right decision for our future, but that doesn't make it any less painful for the people leaving," O'Connell wrote, according to KRON4.
