As summer begins and the last month of spring draws to a close, many employees in the technology industry have had their lives disrupted due to layoffs. Several tech companies have cut workers this month, including some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. Here are some of the highest-profile firms that have reduced their workforce in June 2025.
Microsoft
The Redmond, Washington, company has the distinction of being the only one on this list with two rounds of layoffs in June—one at the beginning of the month and one at the end. Worse, these June layoffs follow the Windows-maker’s massive layoffs in May, which saw the company cut around 6,000 jobs—nearly 3% of its global workforce.
On June 2, GeekWire reported that Microsoft was making additional cuts—305 to be exact. This time, the job cuts were all located in the company’s home state of Washington. “We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GeekWire of the losses.
Xbox (Microsoft)
But Microsoft wasn’t done with cutting jobs.
Yesterday, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft would cut jobs at its Xbox gaming division. However, these job cuts may not come until next week. It’s unknown just how many jobs will be lost, but Bloomberg says Xbox division managers are “expecting substantial cuts across the entire group.”
The Xbox job cuts are also expected to be part of a larger workforce reduction. Bloomberg says Microsoft will cut “thousands of jobs” next week. If the job cuts do happen, they are likely to occur on or around Monday, June 30, the last day of Microsoft’s 2025 fiscal year.

ZoomInfo Technologies
The Vancouver, Washington, online marketing company that provides B2B software for sales, recruiting, and marketing professionals announced on June 9 that it plans to lay off 150 workers in June. That represents about 4% of the company’s 3,500-strong workforce.
According to The Oregonian, ZoomInfo CEO Henry Schuck called the job cuts a “very difficult, but necessary, decision” in an email to employees. Schuck went on to say that the workforce reductions will enable the company to focus on its core business parts and simplify decision-making.
The search giant is laying off 25% of its Google TV team, according to a report from The Information (via 9to5Google).
The cuts reportedly came after Google reduced Google TV’s budget by 10%. It’s unknown exactly how many jobs were lost, but the Google TV team reportedly consisted of around 300 people before the cuts, so 25% of that number suggests about 75 jobs were lost.

Interestingly, the cuts at Google TV may have less to do with the Google TV smart television software and more to do with another Google home entertainment product: YouTube.
Google is reportedly redesigning YouTube to make it appear more like a premium video streaming service, similar to Netflix or Disney Plus. The reduction in Google TV’s budget may be so that the funds can be reallocated to YouTube.
The Walt Disney Company
Disney would not typically be considered a tech company, but when it comes to the Mouse House’s latest round of layoffs, the categorizations fit. That’s because the company has laid off workers in its product and technology divisions.
Specifically, Business Insider reports that Disney product and technology chief Adam Smith, who oversees technologies designed to enhance the company’s various streaming services—including Disney Plus, Hulu, and the upcoming ESPN streaming service—has cut “under 2%” of the product and tech divisions.
The exact number of tech jobs lost is unknown, but the job cuts were reportedly made with the aim of rebalancing resources in the affected divisions.

Over 60,000 tech employees laid off in 2025 so far
Unfortunately, June’s latest tech layoffs are just a fraction of the job losses that the sector has seen this year.
According to data compiled by Layoffs.fyi, 147 tech companies have laid off 63,443 workers in 2025 so far.
The end of June represents the midway point of the year, and if the second half of 2025 matches the first, it would mean that around 127,000 tech jobs will be lost in 2025. Yet the final number may be more or less, as past layoffs aren’t a predictor of future ones.
In all of 2024, 551 tech companies laid off 152,922 workers, according to Layoffs.fyi. That was down significantly from 2023, which saw 1,193 tech companies lay off 264,220 workers. In 2022, 1,064 tech companies laid off 165,269 employees.
