Roughly 9,000 jobs are being eliminated in a new round of layoffs as part of a broader restructuring effort at one of the tech industry’s largest employers. The cuts—impacting less than 4% of the company’s workforce—span multiple teams, regions, and experience levels. Leadership says the goal is to streamline management and improve agility in a shifting market. This move follows earlier layoffs in May and June, reflecting continued cost-cutting trends across the tech sector.
