LinkedIn's Employee Announcement: 600+ Layoffs Revealed


*In an internal communication on Monday, LinkedIn conveyed its decision to reduce its workforce by over 600 positions to employees.

*The premier professional networking platform has revealed that the reductions will span across its engineering and product divisions.

*The corporation officially announced the workforce reductions through a press release.

LinkedIn is taking additional steps to streamline its workforce, resulting in the departure of over 600 employees from its engineering and product departments.

In a Monday morning email, which was brought to Insider's attention, representatives of the professional networking platform conveyed that the company hadn't initially anticipated disclosing this significant update.

LinkedIn has announced its decision to reduce its workforce significantly within its Research and Development (R&D) departments. The company also provided specific details, stating that "137 Engineering management positions" and "38 Product roles" will be affected.

The company also outlined its intention to reduce its engineering team by 368 positions, a move designed to realign resources in accordance with our FY24 plan. Employees were informed that they could expect to receive an email notification within the hour to determine their employment status.

In a press release, LinkedIn confirmed that the staff reductions will affect approximately 668 positions.

The press release emphasized that talent changes, although challenging, are an essential and routine aspect of business management. It further highlighted the company's commitment to adapting its organizational structures, streamlining decision-making processes, and persistently investing in strategic priorities to secure a valuable future for its members and customers. The statement also underlined the company's unwavering commitment to supporting affected employees throughout the transition, with a strong focus on ensuring their respectful and considerate treatment.

This year has seen multiple announcements of layoffs from the company. Back in May, LinkedIn revealed its intention to reduce its global workforce by approximately 716 positions.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky noted, "Even as we make substantial strides in fostering economic opportunities for our valued members and customers, with record-breaking engagement on our platform, we are not oblivious to the evolving landscape of customer behavior and the deceleration in revenue growth. In this dynamic market, we remain steadfast in our commitment to adapt our strategy continually, ensuring the realization of our visionary goals."

In a November 2022 interview with CNBC, Roslansky revealed the company's intentions to institute a hiring pause in specific areas of the organization.

LinkedIn joins a group of prominent technology firms that have embarked on a series of staff reductions this year in response to mounting economic uncertainties. Notable members of this group include Google, Microsoft, and Meta.

The initial conversations about LinkedIn's layoffs emerged among its employees on Sunday, within the confines of an anonymous corporate forum called Blind. This platform mandates the use of a company email address for participation, preceding the official company communication sent out on Monday.

NASA chile scientists comet 3i atlas nickel mystery

NASA and Chilean Scientists Study 3I/ATLAS, A Comet That Breaks the Rules Interstellar visitors are rare guests in our Solar System , but when they appear they often rewrite the rules of astronomy. Such is the case with 3I/ATLAS , a fast-moving object that has left scientists puzzled with its bizarre behaviour. Recent findings from NASA and Chilean researchers reveal that this comet-like body is expelling an unusual plume of nickel — without the iron that typically accompanies it. The discovery challenges conventional wisdom about how comets form and evolve, sparking both excitement and controversy across the scientific community. A Cosmic Outsider: What Is 3I/ATLAS? The object 3I/ATLAS —the third known interstellar traveler after "Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019) —was first detected in July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network , which scans he skies for potentially hazardous objects. Earlier images from Chile's Vera C. Rubin Observatory had unknowingly captured it, but ...

nist breakthrough particle number concentration formula

NIST Researchers Introduce Breakthrough Formula for Particle Number Concentration Understanding the number of particles in a sample is a fundamental task across multiple scientific fields — from nanotechnology to food science. Scientists use a measure called Particle Number Concentration (PNC) to determine how many particles exist in a given volume, much like counting marbles in a jar. Recently, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel formula that calculates particle concentrations with unprecedented accuracy. Their work, published in Analytical Chemistry , could significantly improve precision in drug delivery, nanoplastic assessment and monitoring food additives.

Defining PNC Particle Number Concentration indicates the total count of particles within a specific volume of gas or liquid,...

Quantum device measures ampere volt ohm

Quantum Breakthrough: Scientists Create Device to Measure Ampere, Volt and Ohm in One System Introduction Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary quantum-based device capable of accurately recording all three fundamental electrical units: the ampere (current), the volt (potential) and the ohm (resistance). Unit now, no instrument could perform these three precise measurements within a single system. This innovation marks a historic milestone in metrology, opening new possibilities for precision engineering and minimizing human error in electrical measurements. How the Device Works Bringing Two Quantum Systems Together Jason Underwood and his team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland demonstrated the feasibility of this device by combining two critical quantum systems inside one cryostat : The Quantum Anomalous Hall Resistor (QAHR) The Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) The cryostat plays a vital role by maintaining ultra-low temper...
