LinkedIn Announces Another Round of Layoffs, Cutting 668 Jobs, Amid Broader Tech Industry Staff Reductions LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, has disclosed its intention to reduce its workforce by approximately 668 jobs, equivalent to around 3 percent of its total employees. This latest round of layoffs follows a previous reduction in May, where LinkedIn terminated 716 employees globally and also announced its scaled-down operations in China.
These layoffs are part of a broader trend within the technology industry, with major players like Google, Meta (formerly Facebook), Amazon, and Microsoft also implementing staff cuts throughout the year. The tech sector’s workforce adjustments are indicative of the dynamic nature of the industry and the ongoing need for companies to adapt to changing market conditions and priorities.
