LinkedIn Cuts 875 Roles, Targeting Engineering, Product and Marketing

LinkedIn Corporation notified roughly 875 employees that their jobs were being eliminated, about 5% of its global headcount of 17,500. The cuts hit engineering, product and marketing teams and coincide with the company posting its biggest quarter on record and crossing $5 billion in quarterly revenue. New CEO Daniel Shapero said the reductions reflect a reallocation of spending toward AI, cutting marketing, vendor spend, customer events and underutilized office space, and the company is closing its Graz, Austria office. This round follows an earlier May reduction of roughly 600 jobs and is described as restructuring to prioritize AI investments rather than a response to weak sales.
