Tech giant Microsoft is implementing job cuts at its owned social media platform, LinkedIn, marking another instance where technology firms are reducing their workforce amid the flourishing development of AI, as reported by Bloomberg.
The world’s foremost software producer has been steadily downsizing its workforce in recent years, concurrent with substantial outlays directed toward data centers and other critical infrastructure essential for AI services, a situation that subsequently strains profitability margins.
The precise scope of these reductions has yet to be disclosed. As per information available on LinkedIn’s website, the division employs close to 17,500 personnel.
Microsoft acquired the professional networking site back in 2016, and since then, the platform has largely maintained its autonomy within the broader corporate framework. During Microsoft’s last fiscal year, which concluded in May 2025, LinkedIn generated revenues amounting to $17.8 billion.
