I’m not entirely sure of the significance of the news that Digital Railroad is to cut staff. Charles Mauzy, CEO, has said in a statement to stockphototalk that Digital Railroad would be concentrating more on the Marketplace feature in future. Marketplace is a recent development in Digital Railroad’s history and allows members to see images directly to buyers and gives buyers a central place to buy members’ images from.
It’s been suggested that Digital Railroad might be saying goodbye to over 20 employees, which would be almost half of its work force. Either those people have genuinely become surplus to requirements as the company moves its focus or something more problematic is afoot. It seems strange for a company that’s received so much investment and which is supposed to be rapidly growing should feel the need to shed so many staff.
Time will tell I’m sure but I’d watch this space.
