2024 technology layoffs

Over 200,000 tech workers were laid off in 2023, and a rocky start to 2024 shows the trend has no sign of slowing.

Almost 32,000 workers have already been let go across 122 tech companies since the start of 2024, according to tracking website Layoffs.fyi, many of which are coming from some of the largest household names in the industry, like Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon.

Microsoft announced 1,900 job cuts in its gaming division in January, which represents about 8% of its total gaming workforce.

In mid-January, Google laid off hundreds of workers on its hardware, voice assistance and engineering teams to cut costs, citing a focus on “responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead,” the company said in a statement.
