Summary
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is planning to cut approximately 5% of its workforce, which—based on LinkedIn's stated headcount of more than 17,500 full-time employees—would equal roughly 875 roles. Bloomberg reported a memo from CEO Daniel Shapero saying the reductions will affect engineering, product and marketing teams, and LinkedIn confirmed organizational changes as part of regular business planning. Reuters noted the cuts are not related to adoption of artificial intelligence at the social network. The announcement comes amid LinkedIn's reported 12% year-over-year revenue increase in the third quarter and follows broader Microsoft workforce actions, including consideration of voluntary buyouts in the U.S.
