LinkedIn is preparing to cut additional jobs as its parent company Microsoft continues restructuring operations amid growing investment in artificial intelligence technologies.
A Microsoft spokesperson said the company is implementing organizational changes as part of its regular business planning aimed at strengthening its long-term position and future growth.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft has repeatedly reduced jobs in recent years while redirecting resources towards AI infrastructure, including the construction of large-scale data centers.
The latest layoffs reflect a wider trend across the technology sector, where companies are increasingly automating operations and shifting investment towards generative AI and cloud computing services.
Microsoft acquired LinkedIn in 2016, although the professional networking platform continues to operate independently within the company’s broader technology portfolio.
LinkedIn generated approximately $17.8 billion in revenue during Microsoft’s latest fiscal year, which ended on 31 May 2025.
The platform is overseen by Ryan Roslansky, who also serves as an executive vice president at Microsoft.
