Discogs has made massive layoffs over the past week, hitting a big chunk of marketing and product
Former Discogs employee here. I led Marketing at Discogs up until the end of 2025. I left Discogs, but I could see where things were heading... so I’m sharing in case anyone can help.
Over the last week or so, Discogs cut a significant part of its marketing and product teams. These are people who were improving the database/marketplace experience, doing the research behind feature decisions, keeping all of the systems running that collectors and sellers use every day. Most of you more than likely don't know them, but you've been a part of their work.
The job market is rough right now. I'm sure a lot of you either work in music or run/work at a business that leans on Discogs. If you're hiring, know someone who is, or can help, I went into more detail, including who's affected, on LinkedIn. I'll drop the link in the comments.
