SUNNYVALE — LinkedIn has revealed that its worldwide staff cutbacks included nearly 200 job cuts in the Bay Area, fresh disclosures that serve as disquieting reminders the region’s tech layoffs have yet to run their course.
The tech titan disclosed cutbacks that affected 187 of its Bay Area workers, jolting employees in Sunnyvale, Mountain View and San Francisco, according to an official filing with the state Employment Development Department.
LinkedIn laid off 102 workers in Sunnyvale, 13 in Mountain View and 72 in San Francisco, the filings with the state EDD show. The EDD officially posted the LinkedIn letter on July 24, although the WARN notice was dated June 21.
“The separations occurred on June 9, 2023,” LinkedIn stated in the WARN letter to the EDD. “This action is expected to be permanent.” It wasn’t clear why the company issued the letter about two weeks after the effective date of the separations.
LinkedIn in May announced that it had decided to chop about 700 jobs worldwide, according to a LinkedIn spokesperson.
At the time of that announcement, LinkedIn did not reveal the Bay Area impacts of the cutbacks. The WARN letters are the first time the local job losses were detailed.
With these latest disclosures of job cuts, tech companies have now jettisoned well over 26,000 workers in the Bay Area over an 18-month-plus period that includes all of 2022 and the year to date in 2023, according to this news organization’s analysis of the EDD WARN notices.
