LinkedIn Layoffs: Microsoft-Owned Network Plans 5% Staff Cut Despite Revenue Growth

San Francisco, May 13, 2026, 08:05 PDT LinkedIn plans to lay off about 5% of its workforce, which would mean close to 875 positions out of the Microsoft-owned company’s more than 17,500 full-timers, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke to Reuters.
