Ten global tech startups and companies conducted mass layoffs up to May 14, 2025, according to data collected by Layoffs.fyi.

Intel leads with 22,000 layoffs on April 23, 2025, equivalent to 20% of its workforce.

Microsoft announced on May 13, 2025, the termination of 6,000 employees, representing 3% of its total workforce.

Third is Meta Platforms, Facebook's parent company, which announced 100 layoffs on April 24, 2024.

Next are Northvolt with 2,800 layoffs and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) with 2,500.

HP (hardware), Workday, and Blue Origin are also among the top 10, as shown in the graph.

Layoffs.fyi also reports a cumulative total of 59,410 tech workers laid off from 127 companies up to May 2025.

**Microsoft's Mass Layoffs Amidst Improved Performance**

Recently, Microsoft announced plans to cut 3% of its workforce, or 6,000 employees, across all levels, teams, and regions. Management claims this is a necessary part of company restructuring.

"We are continuing to implement the necessary organizational changes to best position the company for success in a dynamic market," a Microsoft spokesperson stated in a statement to CNBC, as quoted by Katadata on Wednesday (May 14, 2025).

The company reported better-than-expected financial performance, with a net profit of US$25.8 billion (approximately Rp428 trillion) in Q1 2025. Microsoft had 228,000 employees worldwide at the end of June.

On Tuesday (May 13, 2025), the company reduced its workforce associated with its Redmond headquarters by 1,985 people, including 1,510 in-office employees.

In total, this is likely Microsoft's largest layoff wave since the 10,000-person reduction in 2023. In January, the company announced a smaller round of performance-based layoffs. However, the spokesperson stated that the latest layoffs are not performance-related.

According to the spokesperson, one goal of the layoffs is to reduce management layers. Amazon took a similar approach in January, laying off employees after identifying "unnecessary layers" in its organization.
