Work management platform Monday.com has experienced a slowdown in revenue growth, future orders, and contract expansions with clients. The company is struggling to convince larger clients, while smaller ones, no longer a focus, are leaving quickly. The stock has fallen 6% following a disappointing forecast, and approximately 42% since the beginning of the year. In July, Monday.com laid off 620 employees, 350 of whom were in Israel. The company stated the layoffs were not for cost savings but to reinvest the $100 million saved on salaries into other areas, including hiring new employees for sales teams and AI implementation specialists. However, without the departed employees, Monday.com is reportedly losing some existing business opportunities while pursuing new ones.
