LinkedIn to cut 5% of staff

LinkedIn is planning to lay off approximately 5% of its global workforce as part of a strategic reorganization.

The Microsoft-owned platform is seeking to shift resources toward high-growth areas such as AI and enterprise services.

The cuts will primarily affect marketing, engineering, and product teams.

An internal memo revealed that the company is tightening budgets and adopting a new marketing playbook that relies more heavily on automated AI workflows.
