Overview
- California WARN notices confirm 606 cuts take effect July 13, with 352 in Mountain View, 108 in San Francisco, 59 in Sunnyvale, 21 in Carpinteria, and 66 remote roles tied to the state.
- At least 519 of the affected employees are in the Bay Area, and engineering roles represent the largest share of the reductions.
- In a staff memo, CEO Daniel Shapero said the company will reduce roles in the Global Business Organization, marketing, engineering, and product to operate more profitably and focus resources on core systems.

- The move comes despite Microsoft reporting LinkedIn revenue up 12% in the quarter ended March 31 and follows Shapero’s promotion to CEO in April.
