Nashville, Tennessee-based Parlement Technologies, and parent of free-speech social media platform Parler appears to be in financial difficulty.
Starting in November 2023, the company has laid off approximately 75% of its staff, executives included, and is operating today with an estimated 20 employees at the parent and subsidiaries.
Parler, on the way to a successful launch in a politically-charged nation, was laid low by a conspiracy of politicized progressive actors who advocated for de-platforming Parler from its service provider, Amazon Web Services, and the removal of the Parler app from Apple and Google stores.
Recovering from this company-crippling sequence of events, Parler limped back to life and now faces an uncertain future.
The attempted acquisition of the company by Kanye West was canceled after his anti-Semitic rants saw him de-platformed as a promoter of hate speech. “Parlement Technologies has confirmed that the company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler. This decision was made in the interest of both parties mid-November.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
