LinkedIn is reportedly laying off hundreds of employees, marking the latest job cuts at Big Tech companies. The Microsoft subsidiary’s cuts, first reported by Bloomberg, are expected to affect engineering, product and marketing roles, keeping with the trend of the tech industry’s spree of layoffs over the past year. The cuts will hit about 5% of LinkedIn’s roughly 17,000-person workforce, according to Reuters. LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft since 2016, did not respond to a request for comment. Multiple LinkedIn employees posted on LinkedIn’s site Wednesday that they had been affected by the layoffs, including several based in the Seattle area. Microsoft operates a small office devoted to LinkedIn in downtown Bellevue, despite the tech giant’s mass exodus from the city in the wake of the pandemic. After leaving its office space at the Lincoln Square North tower, Microsoft kept two floors for LinkedIn, which can hold at least 120 employees. It is unclear how many LinkedIn employees are based in the Seattle area. The layoffs follow a leadership change at LinkedIn. Less than a month ago, LinkedIn Chief Operating Officer Daniel Shapero was tapped as the new CEO. LinkedIn’s previous CEO, Ryan Roslansky, moved to Microsoft last year as an

LinkedIn is planning to lay off five percent of its workforce as job cuts continue to take a toll on the tech industry. The networking-centric social media platform plans to tell impacted workers they’ve been let go Wednesday, sources told Reuters. LinkedIn employs more than 17,500 people globally. It was not immediately clear which teams the workers impacted by layoffs would be from. However, one of the sources noted that the cuts were intended to help the company reorganize teams and focus on areas where its business is growing. The layoffs are not because LinkedIn is looking to replace human workers with artificial intelligence, the sources said. However, the layoffs come as U.S. companies named AI as the driving force behind job cuts for the second month in a row, according to a report. LinkedIn is planning to lay off about five percent of its 17,500 employees on Wednesday, according to a report (AFP/Getty) In April, employers announced 83,387 layoffs, a 38 percent increase from March, according to the report by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement firm.

Photo courtesy of Chimba Sanga Sanga, MPH ’26, is using his new training in epidemiology to improve HIV and TB care at home in Zambia At age seven, asked by his teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up, Chimba Sanga declared he would be a doctor. He’d never been asked that question before, but the answer came without thinking. “I went home and told my mom, ‘I don’t know whether the response I gave was correct, but I said I wanted to be a medical doctor,’” Sanga recalled. “She asked me why, and I told her, ‘Because I want to be like you. I want to help people.’” Sanga’s mother was a nurse, and her impact in their small community in Zambia was clear to Sanga. “I would visit her at the hospital and see her doing such good work caring for patients. And because the hospital was quite a distance away, patients would often come to our home as a first stop to ask her about symptoms or how to properly take medication,” he said. “Seeing people’s gratitude for her advice and care was indescribable. I really fell in love with medicine.” With his mother’s example

The 80/20 formula for massive LinkedIn growth without burnout getty Most people refresh LinkedIn all day seeking validation, not growth. They scroll during lunch breaks, check notifications between meetings, and wonder why their follower count barely moves. They have zero intention for the platform. They're not following a strategy, and they're ultimately wasting their time. But you're not like them. Your attention gets hijacked by argumentative comments, spammy sales pitches in your inbox, and posts from accounts that grew faster because they figured out what you haven't. I quadrupled my LinkedIn following by doing less, better. Find your winning formula and stick to it. Apply the 80/20 rule to make your LinkedIn growth inevitable Set a performance window Treat LinkedIn like a stage, not a waiting room. Give yourself 25 minutes to post or draft, then close it.

The founders getting the most from this platform have a system for creating great content. They post something with a strong hook , engage with purpose, then get back to revenue-generating work.
