What is a layoff?

A layoff can be either a permanent termination of someone’s employment — usually for cost-saving reasons — or a temporary one because there’s not enough work to justify a full workforce. Tech company layoffs generally fall into the permanent category. 

A mass layoff is when a significant number of a company’s employees are cut in a short period of time, often as a result of economic conditions.

Tech Layoffs: US Companies With Job Cuts In 2024 And 2025
Are more tech layoffs coming?

Yes, more layoffs are likely coming. While there are signs that the volume of layoffs is tapering, experts we talked to expect job cuts in the tech sector to continue for the foreseeable future as large tech companies and startups continue to battle economic headwinds.

Seed and early-stage startups in particular may continue to conduct layoffs in an attempt to extend their cash runways in a difficult venture funding environment.

Tech layoffs noticeably increased at the start of 2022, ramped up in 2023, waned somewhat in 2024 and have continued in 2025.

Layoff - Wikipedia
October 21, 2025 - A layoff or downsizing is the temporary suspension or permanent termination of employment of an employee or, more commonly, a group of employees (collective layoff) for business reasons, such as personnel management or downsizing an organization. Originally, layoff referred exclusively to a temporary interruption in work, or employment but this has evolved to a permanent elimination of a position in both British and US English, requiring the addition of "temporary" to specify the original meaning of the word. A layoff is not to be confused with wrongful termination. Laid off workers or displaced workers are workers who have lost or left their jobs because their employer has closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished (Borbely, 2011).

Think of it as a corporate spring cleaning—unpleasant but sometimes necessary. Individual layoffs: These target specific positions and usually happen when the company considers a position redundant. It’s not you, it’s the job—or so they say. Temporary layoffs: Sometimes, layoffs are not forever. Companies might lay off employees with the hope of rehiring them once business picks up again.
