Tech Companies Announce Layoffs in August 2026
In late August 2026, several major tech companies announced significant layoffs. Apple cut over 200 jobs across its Siri and Vision Pro teams, with the latter being particularly affected due to poor reception of the product. TikTok laid off an additional 75 employees in Seattle as part of a second round of job cuts this month, focusing on e-commerce roles after earlier closures related to content moderation. Netflix closed two game studios—Night School Studio and Moonloot—as it continues shifting focus within its gaming division. LinkedIn also announced layoffs affecting research and development positions, though the exact number was not disclosed. These moves reflect broader industry trends of restructuring amid economic uncertainty and strategic realignment in response to market challenges.
