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.

Fast Company reached out to Microsoft for comment.

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.
