- Online lender LendingClub Corp said on Tuesday it would lay off 460 employees, including President Steven Allocca, as part of a restructuring plan to slash costs amid the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The layoffs represent roughly a third of the company’s total workforce of 1,538 people as of Dec. 31.
"COVID-19 is having an unprecedented effect on consumers, small businesses and the broader economy, including the credit markets, and has resulted in a current reduction in platform investor demand for personal loans," the company said in a regulatory filing. The company also announced temporary salary reductions for its top executives. Chief Executive Officer Scott Sanborn will take a 30% cut to his base salary, while others will take a 25% reduction.
