Vice Media began laying off about 60 staffers on Friday, the Brooklyn-based company confirmed.

The cuts, which represent about 2 percent of Vice’s 3,000 workers around the world, were described as a reallocation of resources.

The digitally focused media company plans to open in India and the Middle East over the next few months and expand recently launched outposts in Brazil and Indonesia.

The cutbacks — mostly confined to the US, Canada and Europe — are expected to be more than offset by staff additions in the newer markets and video content production.

Last month, after Vice received a $450 million investment from private equity firm TPG, it announced the launch of Vice Studios to produce feature films and scripted content.

CEO Shane Smith said the TPG investment increased Vice’s valuation to $5.7 billion.

That’s up from a valuation of $4 billion to $4.5 billion in late 2015 when Disney invested an additional $400 million in the young adult-focused company.

Variety first reported on the layoffs, and Gizmodo followed with news they were taking place while some staffers were literally having a field day.

The former Gawker property, now part of Univision, noted that some Vice news staffers were given the boot amid what was meant to be a team-building event in Brooklyn’s McCarren Park.
