Tech layoffs in 2025 continue: Google, Microsoft, Meta and others slash jobs

Tech Layoffs: Layoffs in the tech industry are continuing unabated in 2025, with major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta reducing headcounts as part of a broader restructuring drive powered by artificial intelligence (AI), cost-cutting, and operational streamlining.

According to data from Layoffs.fyi, more than 23,500 tech employees have lost their jobs this year across 93 companies. While this figure is lower than the massive cuts witnessed in 2022 and 2023, the trend shows no signs of reversing.
