After announcing a massive expansion in the heart of Nashville, TikTok shutters its office in Music City, laying off 250 people to “streamline” its operations.

TikTok’s U.S. joint venture has laid off 250 employees in Nashville as the office closes its doors on October 5. Notably, that includes those in charge of content moderation, as those jobs continue feeling pressure from artificial intelligence.

“We have decided to close our Nashville office to streamline our operations and better align our teams for long-term growth,” said a statement from the company. “We remain fully committed to providing secure, safe, and positive experiences for the 200 million Americans that create, discover, and connect with what they love on TikTok.”

TikTok did not provide a detailed reason for the layoffs, but employees received emails on Wednesday morning notifying them of the move. Several employees who wished to remain anonymous told The New York Times that they had been logged out of their company devices and told they would receive severance pay.

Located in the Moore Building, TikTok’s Nashville office occupied nearly 145,000 square feet of space. The company signed the lease in 2024, and the building was sold in July for just under $147 million. Prior to opening its Music Row office, the company had a presence in Nashville for several years, initially occupying several floors at the WeWork building downtown.

TikTok opened several major offices across the United States in 2024, including those in Silicon Valley, Seattle, Texas, New York, and Nashville. The Nashville lease marked the city’s largest office transaction of the year and nearly tripled the company’s office space there.

Early this year, ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, spun off its North American operation into a U.S.-based joint venture. The deal was the conclusion to a lengthy effort to comply with a 2024 federal law that sought to separate TikTok’s U.S. operations from ByteDance to address national security concerns.

The agreement sees non-Chinese investors own around 80% of the American venture, while ByteDance maintains just under 20%. The U.S. version licenses the platform’s lucrative recommendation algorithm from ByteDance.
