Tech Layoff Tracker — 2026 Snapshot · Live Impact + Rehire Pathways

Every entry below starts from a primary source. We prefer the company’s own newsroom (Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, Disney, Spotify, Wayfair, eBay, PayPal, Intel, and Boeing all publish workforce-reduction memos), an SEC 8-K filing for material events, or a state WARN Act notice for U.S. layoffs of more than 100 workers. Where the company hasn’t spoken on the record we cite a major outlet — Reuters, Bloomberg, the Associated Press, or TechCrunch — and link straight to the story.

The dataset is refreshed weekly. New events are added when the citation is solid and the headcount is confirmed. “Rehire pathways” — the sibling employers we list per company — are conservative by design: each candidate is a competitor or adjacent employer that was publicly hiring in the same product space during the same quarter. We surface them so impacted workers can move quickly, not to make any claim about who is hiring this minute.

For a deeper historical archive of every reported event workzil has tracked across years, see our companion layoffs database and layoff news feed. This page is the curated pillar that focuses on the most impactful events and how to act on them.

The methodology is intentionally narrow. We do not estimate. We do not pull from anonymous sources. If a number cannot be tied to a primary citation we will not publish it, even when a competitor tracker does. This keeps the dataset usable for journalists and analysts who need to defend the figures, and it keeps the rehire pathways grounded in actual hiring signals rather than speculation. Where a company has issued multiple revisions to a headcount — for example when additional waves are confirmed after the initial press release — we update the original entry and note the revision date in the source link.

A note on coverage: the tracker is not exhaustive. Many smaller layoffs (under 100 roles) never reach a press release or a WARN filing, and we will not catch every one of them. If you know of a confirmed event missing from the list, send the citation to corrections@workzil.com and we’ll review it for inclusion.

Workzil is an AI layer on top of 50+ job boards. When you upload a resume — or even just a LinkedIn URL — the platform rebuilds it into an ATS-friendly format, generates role-specific cover letters, and tailors each application so you can apply to dozens of roles in the time it used to take to send three. Our AI matching engine surfaces openings that fit your actual trajectory, not just keyword matches; the Chrome extension handles autofill on the boards where you still want to apply manually.

If you were laid off in one of the events tracked below, you can claim a starter pack of free application credits — enough to send out roughly 50 tailored applications without paying. Mention your former employer when you sign up and the credits drop in automatically. We also keep a free resume builder and salary calculator that don’t require an account.

Two specific patterns we see in the aftermath of large workforce reductions: first, the talent market for impacted workers improves dramatically within four to six weeks as competing employers reach out directly. Second, applicants who tailor every resume to the specific job description land first-round interviews at roughly three times the rate of applicants who send a single resume out to dozens of roles. Workzil is built around both observations — the rehire pathways list pulls from the employers most likely to outreach proactively, and the resume-rebuild flow turns a one-time edit into a per-application customization that runs automatically. If you only do one thing after a layoff, point yourself at the rehire-pathways list for your old employer and let the tooling handle the volume.
