Several tech companies revealed plans for a new round of Bay Area layoffs in actions poised to erase thousands of jobs in the region, according to official state labor reports.

Companies such as Cruise, Salesforce, Walmart, Asana, Okta, Infineon Technologies, Renesas Electronics and Workday sent WARN notices recently to the state Employment Development Department. All job cuts were described as permanent.

The layoffs disclosed so far in 2025 total more than 2,000, this news organization’s compilation of the EDD WARN letters shows. The job cuts revealed in February alone top 1,700.

Here are some details of recent layoffs in the Bay Area that all involve WARN notices received in February by the state EDD:

• Cruise will cut 739 jobs on April 5, affecting workers in San Francisco, Sunnyvale and South San Francisco.

• Workday plans 617 staffing reductions on April 6 in Pleasanton.

• Salesforce plans 153 layoffs on April 25 in San Francisco.

• Walmart will make 77 job cuts on June 13, affecting software, tech and e-commerce workers in San Bruno.

• Asana cut 77 positions on Feb. 4 in San Francisco.

• Okta will initiate 56 staffing reductions on April 8 in San Francisco.

• Infineon Technologies plans 33 job cuts on Valentine’s Day in San Jose.

• Renesas will have three layoffs in San Jose that are set to happen on March 16.

The year appears to be off to a rocky start for Bay Area tech workers, based on the current pace of staffing reductions compared to recent periods.

During the July-through-September third quarter of 2024, companies revealed plans to slash just over 2,300 tech jobs in the Bay Area. In the October-through-December fourth quarter of 2024, cuts topped 2,600.

The 2,086 layoffs of Bay Area tech workers that have been disclosed over the first five weeks of 2025 are already approaching the totals for each of the last two quarters.
